Overview
Postgraduate students are a vital component of the life and activities at the Scottish Marine Institute. Currently we offer two options for Masters level study, and host approximately 25 PhD students. Staff furthermore act as (co-)supervisors for research students (both MSc and PhD) registered at other universities. While most of our research students study full-time, we also host a number of part-time students who are sometimes sponsored by their employers to conduct their research degrees.

Testimonials
-
"One of the things that attracted me to SAMS is that various disciplines of marine science are under one roof. Whilst I still have the support and encouragement of a very strong marine physics group and fellow oceanography students, I share an office with, and interact with ecologists, microbiologists, marine geologists, policy experts and chemists."
Clare Johnson, PhD student in physical oceanography 2011
