This course is designed to prepare students for a meaningful scientific career in industry or as researchers. This goal is achieved through a focus on both the quantitative elements of marine and Antarctic science, as well as the application and translation of science into industry practice and management.Students gain skills in the scientific method as practiced by professional scientists. This includes exposure to the processes of scholarly critique, collaboration, and practical field, laboratory, or industry operations. Upon graduation, you will be able to critically analyse and solve problems, communicate outcomes to a range of audiences, and explain the role of marine and Antarctic science in society.The skills gained will assist graduates in contributing to global issues such as seafood production and security, climate change, and marine stewardship.Many graduates continue into higher research degrees and conduct in-depth research in IMAS' key areas of oceanography and cryosphere, fisheries and aquaculture, ecology and biodiversity, climate change, oceans, Antarctic governance, and ocean-earth systems.
