To announce two new marine MSc taught courses at the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus, we got in touch with just some of our brilliant MSc conservation graduates to find out what they are up to now.
In the MSc Graduate In Focus series we speak to several graduates from MSc programmes within the Center for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus in Cornwall.
They share their experiences of studying in Cornwall, how their course has helped them in their careers and what they are doing now.
So if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to study with us, look no further!
