"summary": "What is more exciting or enigmatic than the life in our oceans? We still know so little about this alien world which makes up 98% of the living space on our planet, forget space, the ocean is the final wild frontier out there to explore. It is an exciting time to be involved in any aspect of marine science; a crucial one too, as our impact on the world’s oceans has never been greater. There has never been a more urgent need for impassioned marine biologists who can speak for the ocean and its inhabitants. So much so that The United Nations has proclaimed 2021-2030 to be the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.\n\nAnd where better to study marine life and conservation than here in Cornwall, a county which has always been intricately linked to the seas around it? A range of aquatic habitats from wild to sheltered coast, freshwater streams, saltmarsh and estuary is all accessible within 20 minutes walking from the campus, with an additional variety of habitats a short drive away. In addition there is a local a dive school with a range of dive courses on offer, a research-equipped vessel for coastal work operating out of Newquay harbour.\nPerhaps it’s the inspirational location that has created such an active and an enthusiastic marine conservation community in Cornwall, from local marine community groups like Newquay Marine Group to charities such as Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust and British Divers Marine Life Rescue giving ample opportunities for students to join in ground roots conservation work whilst they study.\n\nAs a college which has always focused on the applied nature of Foundation Degrees, employability and real-world relevance is at the heart of everything we do. To that aim there is considerable emphasis on building practical skills and survey experience underpinned by a strong academic and scientific core. To complement their degree students will receive bursaries to undertake courses in relevant skills such as diving or boat handling.\n\nOur small, friendly campus has a rural feel in the heart of Newquay. The staff are research active and bring that expertise to the class. We often encourage students who write exceptional and publishable project reports to co-write?their work for scientific publication, with them as the lead author. Students?will be 10-30 minutes’ walk from a range of north Cornish coast?habitats, a dive school with a range of dive courses on offer, a local and very active marine conservation group, a research-equipped vessel for coastal work and are?45 minutes’ drive from an additional range of south Cornish coast habitats.\n\nThe FdSc Marine Biology with Conservation, with Science Gateway is ideal if you would like to study for a Foundation Degrees (FdSc), but do not have the right qualifications or grades to do so. The Science Gateway will prepare you for success on our FdSc programmes by helping you develop your knowledge in relevant areas of biology and chemistry, your practical skills, and your academic study skills.\n\nExplore your options — we offer **CertHE, FdSc,** and **BSc** routes in this subject area, with different course lengths, levels of study, and entry tariffs, to suit your goals.\n\nCornwall College University Centre offers a unique and fulfilling university experience with small class sizes, allowing for personal attention from tutors and a strong sense of community among students. The wrap-around support provided ensures that students receive the necessary guidance and resources to excel in their studies, while studying alongside likeminded individuals who share their passion for vocational technical skills. Located in one of the most beautiful and natural parts of the country, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings while developing practical skills that set them apart in the job market.",
