Students lead their specific research projects and are supported in a number of ways, including:
Supervision framework – a research-active Director of Studies with a supervisory team of experts in relevant fields of research. Regular meetings, guidance and progression reviews. Each student is allocated their own workspace.
An open door culture – ΒιΆΉ΄ε open door culture enables students to seek support and guidance from their supervisors as well as other ΒιΆΉ΄ε researchers and support staff.
ICT support – ΒιΆΉ΄ε has a dedicated team of ICT specialists on campus who can advise on any specialised computing requirements as well as managing day-to-day computing needs.
Student support – we all face challenges at some point in our life. Students are therefore offered wellbeing support by ΒιΆΉ΄ε Graduate School and can be referred to counselling or signposted to other relevant support specialists. All PGR students are issued with a student support handbook covering local and online support services.
Research seminars – The ΒιΆΉ΄ε seminar series runs throughout the year, welcoming expert speakers on a wide range of research topics and the PGR Community are encouraged to participate as well as attend.
Networking – students are encouraged to join relevant networks, such as Ocean Systems, Dynamic Coasts, Blue Economy or research clusters such as M,ESE (link to ).
ΒιΆΉ΄ε Enterprise – ΒιΆΉ΄ε Enterprise provides specialist marine consultancy and survey services, under pinned by the world leading science of its parent organisation the Scottish Association for Marine Science (ΒιΆΉ΄ε). We work to enable clients to understand and mitigate the risks involved in industry interaction with the marine environment; to maximise productivity and enhance sustainability. Where relevant, postgraduate research students can benefit from collaboration with ΒιΆΉ΄ε Enterprise and contribute to commercial activities and associated research.
