MSc Aquatic Ecology by Research
Queen Mary, University of London
Part-Fees Bursaries are available to support promising young scientists
The majority of MSc programmes with an aquatic theme are based upon taught modules focusing on applied aspects of management. However, the rationale for offering the MSc Aquatic Ecology by Research (AER) is to provide a more comprehensive practical training by application in the laboratory or field, rather than by formal tuition in the lecture theatre. In essence then, AER melds both the UK and European models of MSc. The key element is the extended project which is designed to provide many the skills required to undertake further academic or applied research. Such projects are closely aligned to the current research topics of staff members of the Centre for the Aquatic and Terrestrial Environment at Queen Mary, University of London.

New MSc in Aquatic Science
UCL Department of Geography
We would like to draw your attention to our NEW MSc in Aquatic Science which will be launched in September 2010. The course can be taken full-time over 1 year or on a part-time basis over 2 years.
The MSc aims to provide students with an interdisciplinary understanding of the structure and functioning of aquatic environments from upland catchments to the coastal zone, encompassing lakes, ponds, rivers, wetlands, estuaries and shallow seas. Key features of the programme include the integration of aquatic ecology with hydrological and geomorphological aspects, analysis of sediment cores for the reconstruction of past aquatic environments, the design of monitoring programmes and the modelling of aquatic system behaviour. In addition, by linking with the MSc in Conservation, we aim to provide students with an up-to-date insight into key aquatic conservation issues including current ideas regarding the management, and restoration of aquatic ecosystems.
For further information on the MSc in Aquatic Science and the MSc in Conservation, please visit the following web pages:

MSc in Aquatic Resource Management
The course is designed for those seeking vocational employment or research opportunities within the broad field of freshwater, estuarine and marine resources, their development conservation, regulation and management. A key feature of the course is the three month project placement (internship) within an organisation engaged in aquatic management or research.
The course has developed extensive links with the Environment Agency, other government agencies and departments, environmental consultancies and water utilities who provide a wide range of visiting lecturers in addition to placement opportunities. The course also has an outstanding employment record with over 90% of graduates gaining employment in the water management or research fields.
***NERC studentships and departmental bursaries available***

International Aquatic Masters Programme (AMP)
"Sustainable Management of Inland Aquatic Resources"
AMP is a 2-year Masters Programme which enables students with an appropriate B.Sc. qualification to continue and complement their studies to specialise in sustainable use of inland aquatic resources. The AMP is taught in English and no course registration fees are charged. The University of Jyväskylä, located in a rapidly growing and modern city in the lake district of Finland, is one of the largest multidisciplinary universities in the country with almost 16 000 students, including 660 international students.
Taught courses provide advanced training in the environmental and biological processes that determine the characteristics of inland waters and their ecological, economic and social value. Students learn how this scientific understanding can be applied to the effective management of inland waters. A core part of the AMP is the individual research project with associated courses and seminars, providing students with essential independent research skills.
For more information, and to apply, see the web site of the programme
www.jyu.fi/bio/hyb/amp or contact the programme coordinator, Dr Timo Marjomäki, tmarjoma@bytl.jyu.fi
