ILO5: practical autonomous learning, knowledge of experimental design, planning, –Demonstrate time management, analysis and problem solving skills through the completion of a piece of independent research. ILO6: Use industry based experience to assess their knowledge of marine zoology within the context of the marine environment sector. ILO7: Function as autonomous learners fully equipped to engage with lifelong learning and postgraduate study. PS7. Distinctive Features This text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation: Location: Cornwall has 258 miles of surrounding coastline and this places the college in a supreme location for studying the marine environment. A variety of aquatic habitats within easy walking distance enables fieldwork and practical survey techniques to be easily integrated into the programme. Facilities: The campus at Newquay is small and friendly allowing a supportive and personal environment. It is surrounded by its own grounds and gardens and is adjacent to Newquay Zoo and Trenance Park. The college also has two classrooms on Tolcarne beach and a small teaching space at Blue Reef Aquarium Partnerships and industry links: The college has direct industry partnerships with Newquay Zoo and Blue Reef Aquarium and students have free access and priority work placements with both. Partnership with local marine ecotourism operators enables boat based survey experience to be easily accessible to students. A number of boat based activities are built into the curriculum throughout the year. There are strong links within the marine environment sector in Cornwall and representatives from the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, the Environment Agency, Natural England and Cornwall Inshore Conservation and Fisheries Authority, and the National Lobster Hatchery often contribute guest lectures. Cornwall College is a partner college of Plymouth University and as such student are officially members of both institutions. Through the university there are links to Plymouth Marine Laboratories and the Marine Biological Association. Teaching and learning: This programme will deliver a detailed theoretical knowledge and understanding of marine life and also develop strong practical knowledge and experience. Over the years of the course students will acquire skills in a broad range of practical and technological techniques relevant to the study, survey, and reporting of marine life. A variety of trips to local facilities such as the Marine Biological Association, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and the National Marine Aquarium are used to enhance the curriculum. Optional fieldtrip opportunities are available to Portugal, Egypt, South Africa and Borneo.
