Marine Science & Management - 8270 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Program is aimed at both domestic and international students interested in the interdisciplinary field of marine science and management. Topics in marine science including coastal management and engineering, climate change, marine ecology and conservation, physical oceanography and modelling. The Master of Marine Science and Management is a joint program between UNSW and three Sydney Institute of Marine Science partner universities. Students enrol in the program at UNSW, but complete two courses at two of the partner universities (meaning students will take courses from three universities in total), and a seminar series at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science at Chowder Bay (offered under MSCI6681).
Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes The objectives of the programs are:
Marine Science and Management is a 48 UoC coursework program. At UNSW, students undertake compulsory courses (24 UoC) and two electives (12 UoC). These can be taken in any order, full-time or part-time. Students take the other two electives (12 UoC) at two of the three SIMS partner universities (University of Technology Sydney, University of Sydney, and Macquarie University). To fulfil the program requirements students need to complete at least one course from three of the four core topics (Marine Biology / Biological Oceanography, Marine Geosciences / Coastal Engineering, Physical Oceanography / Marine Engineering, Environmental Management / Sustainability).
