Do you have a passion for oceans, fish or coastal areas? Want to become a specialist in marine aquaculture, ecology, governance or economics, starting from an interdisciplinary base? Then this is the master’s programme for you.
Oceans are of immense value to both humans and nature. They provide food, coastal protection, opportunities for tourism, energy production, transportation, climate mitigation and so on.

You will learn to:
- Study aquaculture and marine resource management from various disciplines and viewpoints
- Focus on overfishing, sustainable certification, pollution, ecosystem restoration, and coastal communities
- Prepare thoroughly for your thesis research by selecting relevant courses and learning scientific methods that fit your interests and ambitions
- Learn to collaborate across disciplines and cultures with partners in science, government, civil society, and industry

Admission Requirements
The norm for this equivalence is:
an assessment of the students' expertise in at least one, but preferably more, of the following topics:
- Aquaculture
- Biology (physiology, organismal biology, ecology)
- Environmental sciences (e.g., environmental quality, natural resource management, human-environment interactions)
- Social sciences (e.g., management studies, human geography, sociology, economics)
- Integrative or systems approaches
And both of the following topics:
- Mathematics (calculus)
- Statistics
Not all topics mentioned need to be mastered at the same level; they will be weighed by the Admission Board per individual application.
