MSc Coastal and Marine Environments

Rain or shine, every path across campus has become part of this journey

In just a few weeks, I’ll submit the dissertation that has taken me across Ireland, introduced me to remarkable people, and reshaped how I think about sustainability, the circular economy, and research.

Not quite the finish line yet but definitely a moment worth pausing for.

Best of luck to everyone in my MSc cohort as you put the finishing touches on your dissertations. It’s been a privilege to share this journey with you. 🍀

Wandering Wednesday 🌊🇮🇪

Still thinking about the field days that shaped this MSc experience — from Grattan Beach in Salthill to the cliffs of Donegal, learning directly from Ireland’s coastal environments alongside such an incredible group of people.

Some of the best parts of the MSc in Marine & Coastal Environments at University of Galway happened outside the classroom: rainy shoreline surveys, climbing across rock platforms, coastal geomorphology discussions in the Atlantic wind, and long bus rides with classmates who became friends along the way.

Missing the field trips, the chaos of waterproof gear, and the people already.

Really grateful to have had these moments later featured in the University of Galway MSc film such a special way to look back on this chapter 🌦️
