Competence field 1: Competence in one or more scientific disciplines
- The graduated student possesses a broad knowledge at an advanced level in all basic aspects of marine sciences and can access, analyze and interpret scientific information.
- The graduated student has acquired a scientific problem solving capacity to formulate and test hypotheses, to design research protocols, and to collect, analyze and interpret data.
- The graduated student is able to apply appropriate theoretical and practical concepts in a professional context and, when required, identify and utilize opportunities for continuous professional development in response to emerging techniques, knowledge and challenges in the field of marine sciences.
- The graduated student demonstrates an ability to integrate with, or lead multidisciplinary teams reflecting the breadth of the field of marine sciences and variety of professional roles.
- The graduated student is able to communicate with peers, with various stakeholders in marine sciences, and with a general public concerning scientific concepts and research.
- The graduated student is able to examine societal, environmental and policy concerns and consequently to apply the scientific method to match these demands with scientific challenges and opportunities.
- APPLIED MARINE ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION: The graduated student understands the principles of ecological interactions and how they shape the marine communities and their response to environmental pressures.
- APPLIED MARINE ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION: The graduated student is able to evaluate and assess anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems, services and resources, and to identify mitigation and remediation measures that can be taken on short and long terms.
- APPLIED MARINE ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION: The graduated student is able to implement restoration and conservation initiatives, together with the design and analysis of environmental monitoring schemes.
- MARINE ENVIRONMENT HEALTH: The graduated student knows the sources and response pathways of pollutant exposure for marine organisms.
- MARINE ENVIRONMENT HEALTH: The graduated student can design and implement testing programmes with appropriate methodology for monitoring marine ecosystem health within the regulatory frameworks.

- GLOBAL OCEAN CHANGE: The graduated student understands basic physical, geochemical ocean system dynamics.
- GLOBAL OCEAN CHANGE: The graduated student is able to identify processes involved in local and regional changes for zones that are particularly affected by climate change, such as the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean-Atlantic biogeographical transition zone.
- GLOBAL OCEAN CHANGE: The graduated student understands the main drivers affecting at all scales the marine biodiversity, and is able to tackle the key challenges to diminish threats on evolving marine species and communities.
- MANAGEMENT OF LIVING MARINE RESOURCES: The graduated student understands and is able to apply quantitative methods of population assessment, including survey methods, data collection, analysis, and assessment models.
- MANAGEMENT OF LIVING MARINE RESOURCES: The graduated student understands the ecological principles governing variability in marine resource availability and its sustainable exploitation.
