Course content

The PG Certificate in Sustainable Aquaculture offers a range of part-time, e-learning courses at a postgraduate level with a focus on either vertebrates or invertebrates.

Sustainable Aquaculture is also offered as a PGDip/MSc degree programme and as a modular course (in which you can take modules individually).

The Sustainable Aquaculture distance learning modular programme is taught part time via an online e-learning platform offering online tutorial support, direct email contact with tutors, video streams and access to student bulletin boards.

The award of Postgraduate Certificate requires 60 credits gained from a selection of taught modules. The Postgraduate Certificate provides a shorter programme than the Postgraduate Diploma or MSc Sustainable Aquaculture programme. Students focus either on vertebrate or invertebrate aquaculture species and have a choice of taking two out of the three optional topics.

Highlights

• Flexible modular e-learning allows students to complete their studies while continuing in their employment.
• Students are able to specialise in either vertebrates or invertebrates.
• It is also possible to study single modules rather than the whole programme.
