Master of Science (MSc) in Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture
Create engineering solutions that reduce environmental impact and improve resource efficiency in fisheries and aquaculture. You will work with advanced technologies—from production systems to digital monitoring—while addressing key sustainability challenges. The programme prepares you to shape the future of capture- and aquaculture-based food production.
The future of ocean food production
The Master of Science (MSc) in Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture focuses on the technologies behind modern fisheries and aquaculture systems. You will develop the competences to create engineering solutions that improve production, reduce environmental impact, and ensure efficient use of resources.
The programme brings together engineering and life science, giving you a solid knowledge of technology and biology. You can work with aquaculture production systems, water treatment technology, water quality, feed resources, production biology and welfare, low-trophic aquaculture, and the genetics of fish stocks. You can also choose to work with conservation efforts, fisheries ecology, anthropogenic change, fishing technology, digital monitoring, ecosystem management, and the application of data-driven methods.
During your studies, you can develop the competences to improve existing solutions or develop innovative new ones for land-based aquaculture and fishing gear, while gaining knowledge of emerging areas such as low-trophic aquaculture, the circular economy, and machine learning.
Through coursework, group work, and projects, you will strengthen your analytical and technical skills while learning to collaborate across disciplines. The programme prepares you for an exciting career in developing responsible and efficient fisheries and aquaculture systems.
