Masters
ACES is an amazing 2-year programme that allows an international group of students to study aquaculture in Scotland (semester 1), Crete (Greece, semester 2) and Nantes (France, semester 3) with intensive involvement from industry.
Algae produce much of the oxygen we breath and underpin aquatic food chains, but they also have important current and potential roles in pharmaceuticals, pigments, nutraceuticals, biofuels, enzymes, fertilisers, and bioremdiation materials. On this 1-year course you will learn many research approaches, micro and macro-algal species cultivation, biotechnology, genomics, metabolomics, and will undertake a dissertation project
This demanding Master of Research programme is built on the student choosing and carrying out a full-time 1-year research project that culminates in the submission of a written thesis.
- MSc by Research - 1-year full-time research projects (two-year part-time) with a number of areas of focus to choose from.
