• Objectives
  The aim of this Postgraduate Diploma/MSc programme is to provide advanced training across the range of subjects involved in contemporary coastal zone management. The course provides an understanding of the relevant science and the human activities that affect the coast as a basis for development of management approaches. The programme is aimed at physical sciences and life sciences graduates, and also those who have demonstrable past or current coastal management responsibilities. Case studies from around the world are used to provide examples of coastal management issues and responses at local to international level and in both coastal land areas and coastal waters. Those students who progress to the MSc element will carry out a research project on a topic related to Coastal Management which will draw upon the material covered in the taught Postgraduate Diploma modules.

  5) Environmental Data Analysis.
  
  The MSc requires successful completion of the PGDip plus a further research project module (60 credit points). Each module runs sequentially, with one module per semester (no summer semester modules). The research project for the MSc is normally completed directly after successful completion of the PGDip.
