| 4 | Principles of Biological Oceanography | WMMB003-05 |
| The course includes classroom lectures, practicals and a 2-day excursion to NIOZ. First, a series of introductory lectures will be given, starting with basic physical and chemical oceanography, followed by phytoplankton, zooplankton, and nekton diversity and productivity. Emphasis will be given to bottom-up controls of marine pelagic functioning and productivity. The second series of lectures is dedicated to Current Topics in Biological Oceanography, related to human impacts, including global climate change. These may encompass topics like oligotrophication, harmful algal blooms, pollution, and fisheries. Practicals focus on the recognition of major taxonomic groups and species. During the two days excursion, the variety of NIOZ research at both Texel and Yerseke locations will be demonstrated. |

| 5 | Principles of Marine Biology | WMMB004-05 |
Marine ecosystems share many features with their terrestrial counterparts- but not all. Life in the sea requires specialized adaptations of many kinds and involves many unfamiliar species. This means that benthic research methodology includes both general and unique approaches, considerations and techniques. To perform research in the marine environment, knowing the principle players in the food web and understanding how they interact both biotically and abiotically is a first step. Learning how to observe, formulate hypotheses and design experiments is a second step. The course combines lectures, reading and group discussions in combination with hands-on field experience
Lectures will review the marine environment, its ancientness and peculiarities, principle ecosystems and marine biodiversity. Basic ecological processes and concepts will be discussed to include oceanographic principles where appropriated. Through guided observation, students will learn to formulate research questions, develop and execute simple experiments for different community types.
Fieldwork will provide hands-on experience to include formulation of questions, considerations of experimental design and analysis, set-up and actual data collection, and the final analyses. Field work will be conducted in the soft-shore Wadden Sea system and the rocky-shore Gullmar Fjord system in Sweden. |

| 6 | Principles of Population Genetics in Natural Populations | WMMB005-05 |
The course consists of lectures, in-depth reading and discussion of original research papers as well as computer exercises. Each week will focus on different specific applications of population/individual-based genetic data in conservation, ecology and behavior, such as individual identification and parentage analysis; delineation of management units and population structure; long- and short-term abundance; as well as detection of selection/adaptation.
Students will prepare by reading two pre-selected case studies each week, make a brief presentation on the specific approach and chair the subsequent discussion of the approach and case studies. Each week students will use common computer programs as part of a weekly assignment to analyze specific data sets relevant to the weekly case studies.
The last week students will be tasked with a comprehensive review of a published study.
Contact hours:
25 hours of lectures,
11 hours of guided class discussion,
48 hours of computer exercises as part of a weekly assignment (with the instructor present)
= 84 hours Self-study (reading, preparation of lectures and preparation for weekly assignment)
= 36 hours. Duration 3 weeks (total of 120 hours) |

| 8 | Stagetraject bedrijf en beleid | WMSE901-40 |
This module is structured as follows:
1. Preparation Internship (2 weeks, end of december)
2. Writing Plan of Action at company or policy organization (4 weeks)
3. Internship (8 weeks)
4. Reflection days (1 week)
5. Internship (3 months)
6. Wrap up (1 week)
During the internship outside university they acts as a science advisor, who analyses a business or policy problem that needs scientific knowledge to solve it. The student then writes a report with well-argued suggestions to solve the problem.
The student implements the skills he/she has learned in the modules Science and Business and Science and Policy. The students gets acquainted with the organization (structure, culture, personality) by performing tasks within the organization. Thus the student gets an valuable experience in a multidisciplinary environment.
The internship starts in January and ends in June/July. The student must find an internship by himself, with help of the SBP-staff. It is important to start looking as soon as possible.
The student is supervised by a SBP-staff member, a beta science staff member and a supervisor of the organization where the internship takes place.
The internship should have a beta science aspect (25-50%), a business and/or policy aspect (25-50%) and sufficient prospects for implementation of the advice. |

See also www.rug.nl/fse/sbp | | Opmerkingen | From those who enroll between April 1 and April 14, second year master students who will do the entire SBP-variant have priority. After April 14, admission will be in order of registration.
The Science Business and Policy Master Track is in English. However, to some extent it can be considered bilingual. Some projects for Dutch organizations, especially policy organizations, can be in Dutch. Also some tutor groups for Dutch projects and personal development can be in Dutch. Some internship organizations prefer a Dutch advice report. In short, in projects and tutor groups the practical situation is leading, whereas international students will always be able to chose for an English project.
