Students will deepen their knowledge in these subjects by taking courses such as analytical palaeobiology, phylogenetics, biostratigraphy, vertebrate palaeobiology, and science communication. In addition to these courses, students have the opportunity to choose a variety of supplementary courses, which can include field excursions to destinations such as Italy, Poland, and Sweden, as well as short-term research projects and bespoke training courses in computational and laboratory techniques. During each of these courses, students will develop a wide range of professional and transferable skills including data analysis and interpretation, research project planning, ethics, problem-solving and hypothesis testing. Students will learn to communicate research findings and data through written reports, oral presentations, and graphical displays."]
