Semester 1 | Credits: 20
This module will provide students with the advanced field and computational skills that are required for Earth and Ocean Sciences graduates seeking employment in either research or industry.

(2) Process & analyse this data (i.e. to solve problems) and (3) Produce an original (dissertation) report. In addition, students are required to carefully plan and organise the logistical side of their project (i.e. engage in project management) and to produce deliverables (presentations, drafts and a final report) according to deadline.
(Language of instruction: English)
