Marine Science
Learning outcomes
Students who graduate from Marine Science will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of marine processes and habitats, including their importance in sustaining biodiversity and life on the planet. |
| 2 | Exhibit a deep understanding of the principles, concepts and methods of marine science and assess the role of inquiry in furthering knowledge within the discipline. |
| 3 | Recognise the multidisciplinarity of marine science and the complex interlinkages between bio- and geosciences in understanding biophysical processes. |
| 4 | Evaluate the geological and biophysical processes that shape and influence marine and coastal environments. |
| 5 | Collect, analyse and visualise data using state-of-the-art technology such as big data, numerical modelling and geographic information systems. |
| 6 | Source, synthesise and critically evaluate marine and coastal information, data and observations from a range of relevant sources. |
| 7 | Communicate concepts and analyses in marine science to diverse audiences from a range of backgrounds through a variety of modes, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique. |
| 8 | Work effectively, responsibly and ethically in individual and peer or team contexts and be independent, self-directed learners. |
| 9 | Design and carry out field, laboratory, or virtual experiments, selecting appropriate hypothesis testing or modelling techniques, and interpret, analyse and evaluate outcomes. |
| 10 | Address real-world problems in marine science, working professionally and responsibly within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. |
| 11 | Recognise the social and cultural context within which marine and coastal environments exist and describe how these contexts can influence scientific and management practice. |
