As part of the University College Program, IMAS is giving four Tasmanian and five interstate students free enrolment to a six-day marine biology course in April. It will include five days on Maria Island and one day in the classroom.

“We view this program as a key opportunity for students to see science in action, spending a working week in the field where they can develop their skills of observation and experience first-hand what being a marine biologist is like,” course coordinator Dr Scott Ling said. 

Scholarship application packs are available on the IMAS website, and close on March 7.
