2023 SAMS UHI Marine Science Open Day
Monday 2nd October, 11am to 3pm
This event is ideal for those interested in applying to our BSc (Hons) Marine Science programme, for 2024 intake and beyond.
Are you ready to sea the world differently and get inspired for a career in marine science?
Visit the #UniversityOnTheBeach! Sign up for our Open Day to tour our campus, meet students and staff and enjoy talks/demonstrations at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS).
Roam our teaching labs, lecture rooms, canteen, our seaview balcony and more. Learn from staff and students what our programme could mean for your future and the future of our oceans. Staff will be on hand to answer questions about the programme and visitors will also have the opportunity to chat to current students about what it's really like to study marine science at SAMS, a partner of UHI.
Access: SAMS is fully accessible and wheelchair friendly with ground floor entrances, lifts from ground floor and disabled toilets. If you have specific access requirements that you would like to discuss with us beforehand please send an email to bsc@sams.ac.uk or call 01631 559000.
Make a day or a weekend of it!
SAMS' Ocean Explorer Centre (on-site) is open Mon-Fri, 10am to 4pm where you can find out more about SAMS' mission to work for healthy oceans and the vital marine science research work we do. The Beach Cafe is open Mon-Fri 10am to 3pm (please note it can get very busy at lunchtime). Visit our neighbouring Dunstaffnage Castle and find a hidden ruin chapel in the woods. Take a walk around the Dunstaffnage headland and discover stunning pebble beach coves and see what marine life you can find on our rocky shores. Or, weather depending!, head to the beach! SAMS is well known as the #UniversityOnTheBeach due to its beachside location.
SAMS is one of the top places in the world to study marine science. We celebrated a 100% student satisfaction score in the 2020, 21 and 22 National Student Survey. UHI was also 1st in Scotland for earth and marine sciences subjects in the #GuardianUniversityGuide 2022 and 2023.
If you cannot make it, take our virtual tour!
