Students in this unit will undertake the equivalent of an unpaid, professional placement of 80 hours duration, which gives them a work integrated learning experience – providing intended learning outcomes that could reasonably be expected from a placement within a government, non-government or private sector organisation. Typically a placement project is arranged with an industry partner by the...

This unit presents a range of advanced statistical and data analysis techniques used in the marine sciences for students with an existing background in quantitative analysis. The course covers concepts of generalised linear models (GLMs), generalised additive models (GAMs), Bayes rules, bayesian versus frequentist interpretation, Markov chain Monte Carlo fundamentals, hierarchical models,...

In this unit, you will study fisheries biology and population dynamics by exploring how age, growth, reproduction, and life history strategies affect the exploitation of fisheries species. The unit covers methods required for the biological investigation of population dynamics of a species, including computer exercises, and practical field and lab work. You will learn how to conduct fishery...

In this unit, you will build fundamental computing skills in Python, a powerful and versatile programming language for solving marine and Antarctic research challenges. Through active participation, you'll develop coding skills essential for handling, visualising, and analysing complex data, undertaking computational tasks, and approaching real-world problems within these domains. A combination...

This capstone unit provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate the integration of your learning that was applied to design and implement interventions, including research, across your entire social work degree including a specific focus on your final placement. You will reflect on the knowledge, skills and values you integrated to develop and implement these interventions. You will undertake...
