Who is the course for?

The course is for anyone over the age of 18 (i.e. born before March 1994), with an interest in Marine Biology. It is aimed at divers, sea-anglers, surfers and all who share our respect and fascination for the marine environment.

We wish to make this course as accessible as possible, and to engage people in scientific learning without fear. We therefore do not impose any entry requirements on application, other than a familiarity with computers and the internet. We will support you throughout your study as you embark on this challenge.

As the course is open to all, it is for interest only, and there will be no formal qualification at the end. There will, however, be some assessment, and a Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to those successfully completing the assignments.

If you think you may have any access issues or need for additional support with regard to either the course or the fieldcourse, please do not hesitate to get in touch and we can discuss this further.
