We are currently accepting applications for 2019/20 entry to our unique and intense one-year Master’s programme at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, UK.

The programme reflects the research interests and expertise of the staff at the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU). It has a strong focus on quantitative methods and applied techniques, and is designed to prepare students fully for a professional career involved with conservation of and research into marine mammals. Optional modules take full advantage of the research strengths of the SMRU covering biologging, bioacoustics, behaviour and population biology. The optional Antarctica field course involves a vessel-based field expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula (requiring additional payment of a substantial expedition fee). For detailed information on the Marine Mammal Science MSc including content, entry requirements and how to apply please refer to the MSc MMS website: http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/study/pg/taught-programmes/mms-biology/ and for student perspectives see https://synergy.st-andrews.ac.uk/biopostgraduate/msc-marine-mammal-science/.

Applications for the upcoming academic year (starting September 2019) must be received by Friday, 5 April 2019, and should be submitted online via the St Andrews Postgraduate Admission Portal: http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/study/pg/apply/taught/
