Cian Greene

I chose this programme at UCC because it had a wide array of practical elements, as well as in-depth academic content. This course offers hands-on practical experience in fieldwork, data collection on research vessels, labs, and marine workplace skills such as sea survival and VHF/powerboat licences. This course has far exceeded my expectations and given me a solid understanding in the principles of marine biology and practical skills allowing me to pursue a career in research as a PhD student.
