The Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban, in collaboration with the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI), has launched a new undergraduate Masters program aimed at equipping students for careers in the blue economy. The Applied Marine Science MSci program builds upon the existing BSc (Hons) Marine Science degree, incorporating additional training focused on employability skills. This five-year course includes a year of practical experience with industry partners in various sectors, including aquaculture, marine technology, scientific diving, conservation, and marine renewables. The initiative addresses the growing demand for a skilled workforce as the blue economy continues to expand in Scotland and across the UK.
