MMM Graduate Projects

Students are required to apply the knowledge gained through course work to a specific planning and management problem or issue of interest to them. The gradable components of the Graduate Project (GP) include a Research Paper and a Public Presentation. The Research Paper is completed under the supervision of an appropriate academic advisor. Students are required to give a Public Presentation on their graduate project.

A series of activities, GP Seminars, GP Control Point and GP Proposal, will support students in the conceptualization of the GP. In addition, MARA 5002 includes a practical component, which provides students an Internship period with a public or private sector agency of relevance to the project topic. The area of research must be approved by the MAP Acting Director and Graduate Project Committee.

Examples of past MMM Graduate Projects can be found on the Marine Affairs Program DalSpace Repository.
