Dear Colleagues Scholarship news of interest to MARMAM people. As we get ready for the holidays, we have good news to share in that we have secured significant funding to support Scholarships for our suite of 1 year Masters Programmes of which we are so justifiably proud here at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation (University of Exeter) http://biosciences.exeter.ac.uk/cec/ Here we have quite a few academics working on marine vertebrates: Stuart Bearhop, Annette Broderick, Lucy Hawkes, Andy McGowan, Steve Votier, Matthew Witt and myself as well as a large cadre of postdocs and graduate students. Details follow, please share with your friends and colleagues around the world and encourage them to do the same. We are keen to attract the best and brightest people working on marine vertebrates. With kind regards Brendan We know that funding is a major part of the decision to pursue postgraduate study and to help with this we are delighted to offer a range of awards for students looking to enrol on one of our taught Masters programmes in 2015.
