Individual topic Module : A system of individualised Module s each covering specific parts of the subject replaces regular lectures. Each Module consists of a number of scientific publications, which must be read and supplemented by other references. The Module s have been designed to provoke thought and, during assessment, credit will be given for evidence of this. Module 1: Ecological principles pertaining to marine ecosystems; Module 2: Intertidal ecosystems; Module 3: Subtidal ecosystems. Field trip: A structured visit to the main intertidal and sub tidal marine ecosystem on the South coast Project: A project requiring field and laboratory will be conducted throughout the semester. Students are expected to become familiar with the use of journals, abstracts and electronic data-bases over the course of the subject, in consultation with library.
