Course Overview

An invaluable resource must be managed responsibly and this programme was launched on this very basis. Addressing crucial issues in the aquatic ecosystem, the programme equips students with the know-how to develop solutions for an ever-changing planet.

You can look forward to developing a solid foundation in the basic sciences such as – analytical chemistry, microbiology, structural chemistry and statistics before delving into the intensive study of environmental monitoring and assessment, aquatic biodiversity and taxonomy, principles in aquatic pollution and toxicology, among many others. You will also enjoy two different avenues of specialisation in your final year where you will opt for Aquatic Health and Management or Seafood Processing and Safety. Research is also an important component of the programme and you will have the opportunity to focus on ecosystem-based management, natural resources management, sustainable aquaculture, as well as impact of modernisation on natural ecosystems
