Amcanion cyffredinol
This module is run at the start of the MSc courses in Physical Oceanography, Marine Renewables, and Applied Marine Geosciences and provides students with some of the key skills they will need for their Masters course and their project work. These skills include mathematics for scientists, MATLAB programming, oceanographic data analysis and an introduction to fundamental oceanography and sediment processes. The course is made up of a set of targeted lectures which will provide guidance on practical exercises to be completed by the class.
