 Learning outcomeGraduate qualities
1Integrate disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge in marine science and management to evaluate complex marine ecosystems and recognise adaptive mangement plans
2Critically evaluate contemporary marine science research including the literature, knowledge base, approaches and methods, to identify emerging knowledge gaps in marine science and management
3Formulate research questions from a critical review of exisiting knowledge, propose testable hypotheses and design rigorous experiments to test hypotheses on diverse marine environments
4Select and collect appropriate data, critically analyse and interpret results to evaluate hypotheses, formulate conclusions and determine implications for diverse marine environments and marine science management decisions
5Communicate and present findings clearly in oral and written forms and defend evidence-based arguments about the impacts of anthropogenic change and challeges for sustainability, restoration or conservation of diverse marine environments
6Work independently and collaboratively in teams to propose, evaluate and justify solutions for marine science and management problems
7Describe and critically apply ethical principles including respectful and appropriate engagement with Indigenous knowledges in marine ecosystems and marine science management
8Analyse marine science management decisions across ecological, geomorphological and engineering scales, from mircrobes to mammals and fisheries and across diverse habitats, from estuaries and coastal regions to the oceans, including temperate and tropical environments to predict ecological and socioenvironmental outcomes in diverse marine environments
