Undergraduates, graduates (minimum grade of 2:1), and post graduates interested in completing their thesis with OSC are invited to submit applications electronically to recruitment@osc.co.uk with ‘OSC-NZ Education’ in the subject heading, otherwise posted hardcopies are also accepted. Please include your CV and a cover letter describing your research interests and why you are interested in having OSC involved in supervision.

Education

For several years, OSC personnel have assisted with teaching University undergraduate field courses to Cambridge, Leeds and Heriot-Watt students in marine biology. Courses on marine life identification and survey techniques have been carried out at various locations such as the Field Studies Council’s Dale Fort facilities in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory in Oban. We currently have academic links with the Universities of Edinburgh and Environmental Research Institute. We have also provided marine biology courses and underwater guides for the recreational SCUBA diver training industry.

All educational institutions are invited to contact us for further details.
