Aquaculture and Fisheries Management

Description

Designed to meet the needs of an expanding sports fisheries market, as well as the worldwide aquaculture industry, this one year top-up programme will give you the necessary scientific knowledge, managerial skills and analytical capabilities for a successful career. From the outset you will build on your previous experiences and gain an insight into the importance of this sector for food production and sustainability. You will take a 'hands on' approach and learn about intensive aquaculture.

The Intensive Aquaculture course aims to equip students with the expertise to effectively manage intensive recirculation aquaculture systems. It also helps students to evaluate system suitability for intensively cultured species.

The programme also includes a dissertation project. This aims to develop the ability of the student to work independently in applying his/her knowledge to the analysis and solution of specific problems, in a related area of their choice.

Students also undertake a work-based learning project, which provides opportunities for students to identify and critically evaluate the range of opportunities within industry and decide on an area of specialist personal development in relation to their career aspirations within the industry.
