Introduction
The unit will develop knowledge and skills in research that is oriented towards marine and Antarctic science. Research training will be provided through workshops, seminars and completion of a research project in an appropriate area of marine and Antarctic science. Students will be required to further develop their communication skills and understanding of marine and Antarctic science through the analysis and interpretation of research results, and communication of their research in a seminar and thesis.
