This programme provides courses at university level on the most important aspects of aquaculture, for both marine and freshwater organisms. The programme takes a multidisciplinary, interuniversity and international approach, and aims at the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and skills with the main objectives being:
- to deliver researchers able to design and perform research in various aquaculture fields;
- to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry;
- to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination of their acquired knowledge;
- to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry.
The learning outcomes and competencies will differ from student to student as each one will follow his/her own customized program, with a solid foundation in the basic principles of aquatic production. However, the common learning outcomes of the Master of Science in Aquaculture program can be summarized as follows:
- to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms (shellfish, finfish, etc.) and to be able to apply this to aquatic production;
- to be capable of characterizing, analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production;
- to understand the interactions between human activity, environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation, and to determine potential ameliorating interventions;
- to acquire a scientific approach to formulating and testing hypotheses, to be able to design research protocols, as well as to collect and analyze data and to research scientific literature;
- to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work;
- to understand and communicate with the industry, and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures;
- to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation;
- apart from these academic competencies and professional insights, students will have improved their social and generic skills and language knowledge;
- to have adopted a problem-solving capacity so that he/she can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculture specialist.
