Greetings from Scotland! We are currently accepting applications for our one-year Master's programme at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, UK for 2026/27 entry. The Master's in Marine Mammal Science (MSc MMS) is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2027! This Master's 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. The MSc MMS programme has an established track record of graduates successfully entering careers in research, policy and non-government organisations after completion of the course. Optional modules take full advantage of the research strengths of the SMRU (Sea Mammal Research Unit) covering biologging, bioacoustics, behaviour and population biology. There are a variety of opportunities to engage in local fieldtrips and workshops relevant to the course throughout the year, and there is an optional Antarctica field course that involves a vessel-based field expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula (requires additional payment of a substantial expedition fee).
