Master in Marine Mammal Science - entry September 2011 We are currently accepting applications for the 2011/12 entry to the Master of Research (MRes) in Marine Mammal Science based at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, UK. This is an intense, one-year Master's level course intended to prepare students for professional careers in marine mammal research and conservation. The programme is tailored to address the scientific challenges of marine mammal ecology, behaviour and population biology with strong components of analytical methodology, laboratory work, and field study. The course is being taught by members of the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU), the School of Biology and the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) which are part of the Scottish Oceans Institute at the University of St Andrews.
