This programme will deliver: To meet the College’s and University of Plymouth’s mission statements and core values. To provide an innovative and broad-based programme of education focusing on all aspects of the marine industry including environmental issues. To produce students who can demonstrate a range of academic and study skills to a level that will enable them to be able to participate in further programmes of study. To develop students who can demonstrate a wide range of personal and practical/vocational/transferable skills, this will enable them to be effective in seeking employment with the marine industry. PS6. Programme Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO) By the end of this programme the student will be able to: Recognise the interdisciplinary of Marine Studies and demonstrate an appreciation of the contribution made by the natural and social sciences. Demonstrate literacy in the terminology, classification and nomenclature practiced in the maritime field. Describe the changing relationship between the systems of the marine environment and human development. Fully understand the underlying scientific basis of marine ecosystems. Identify the natural processes at work at sea and on coastal regions. Understand the national and international dimension in marine environmental protection. Carry out scientific surveys. PS7. Distinctive Features With staff that have established an international reputation and have a strong background in both marine academic studies and marine related employment, the course has established a particularly strong reputation for developing the skills required for progression on to some of the most prestigious academic institutions and employers in the world. With aquaria containing species that vary from cuttlefish to sharks, an extensive range of sampling equipment and newly established marine laboratories, the marine school also offers an almost unprecedented range of resources for its students. Our unique location also gives each student access to an ‘outdoor’ classroom that consists of the unique and varied marine habitats that can be found just a few minutes walk from the campus. Foundation degrees lay emphasis on the concept of work-based learning together with the support required to develop strong academic skills required for progression on to honours degree programmes. The lectures are supported by a significant level of practical work including laboratory skills, such as water quality assessment, field work, such as boat based cetacean observations, together with the opportunity to obtain industry specific experience or qualifications including snorkelling, diving, boat handling, aquatic husbandry and population sampling
