gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

You must choose two advanced modules which cover six from 18 topics of study offered (choices are dependent on the final degree outcome to be

awarded) Successful completion of the advanced modules subsequent to the foundation modules will qualify the student for a Postgraduate Diploma in a

selected named degree outcome

At the Institute of Aquaculture you can choose to study from a range of seven Aquaculture related Masters degrees allowing you to choose a subject of

specific interest to you or your employer

All of our Masters students apply to do a Sustainable Aquaculture degree Once you have completed the basic Foundation topics you can then decide which

outcome to study and what your final degree will be

All of our Masters degrees are created from discrete study topics and structured in the same way allowing for a greater flexibility of subject choice to

strengthen career prospects in all branches of aquaculture If you do not want to complete a full MSc degree you can also choose your exit point and can

study for a Postgraduate Certificate or a Postgraduate Diploma instead

There are two compulsory modules consisting of six topics of study taken consecutively giving instruction in basic aquaculture concepts and skills Successful completion of both foundation modules will qualify you for a Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Aquaculture Students select a particular named degree outcome at the end of the foundation modules Topics of study within the advanced modules are then chosen appropriately

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Wageningen University

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Wageningen University

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Wageningen University

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Wageningen University

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Wageningen University

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

2 Wageningen University amp Research Center Netherlands

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Wageningen University

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Objectives

The objectives of the program are in order of priority

Competences

The acquired competencies may differ from student to student as each student is enabled to partially follow hisher own customized programme after the

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

3 University of the Algarve Portugal

4 University College Cork Ireland

5 Bergen University Norway

6 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Norway

7 University of Warmia amp Mazury Poland

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Wageningen University

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

common program section that covers basic principles However the common learning outcomes of can be summarized as follows

gt to have acquired knowledge on the biology and ecology of aquatic organisms(shellfish finfish etc) and of the importance of experimental design and be able

to apply this to aquatic animal production

gt to be capable of characterizing analyzing and evaluating different forms and systems of aquatic production

gt to identify interactions between human activity environmental conditions and aquatic exploitation and to determine potential amelioratingdeteriorating

interventions

gt to acquire a scientific approach to formulation and testing of hypothesesdesigning research protocols as well as collection and analyses of data in different

disciplines and researching the scientific literature

gt to be capable of reporting both orally and in writing the results of their work

gt to understand the ethical considerations of animal production and experimentation

1 to deliver researchers able to perform and design research in various aquaculture fields

2 to deliver experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry

3 to form key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge

4 to deliver academically trained staff for the aquaculture industry

gt to understand and communicate with the industry and be familiar with the practicalities of commercial ventures

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

course andor thesis work

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

gt to be able to access independently scientific literature and to have the skill base and approach required of a research scientist

gt apart from these academic competencies and professional insights students should have improved their social skills language knowledge and they should

have the ability to work in an international environment give presentations or deal with unfamiliar and changing situations

This consortium lsquosynchronizedrsquo their respective curricula of the English taught aquaculture amp fisheries master programmes and agreed upon an easy exchange

of students for both course as thesis work this lsquosynchronisationrsquo meant implementing the ECTS-system (including uniformisation of the grading system)

gt to develop the approach and problem-solving capacity so that heshe can occupy an independent and responsible position as an aquaculturist

Within this project the MAqFish consortium was created consisting of the 7 MAqFish partners

This means that there is no such thing as a MAqFish-diploma or degreehellip What iacutes possible within the MAqFish-consortium is a direct exchange of

students via (standard) bilateral agreements where the MAqFish label actually ensures and guarantees the quality and uniformity of the selected

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Courses

lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo

lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo

lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo

Specialisations

All students acquire a thorough understanding of processes governing life in any type of water body In addition students can

choose to put more emphasis on any of the following aspects ecology natural resource management capture fisheries or

aquaculture

All students of the study programme start with the course lsquoLife History of Aquatic Organismsrsquo The course deals with the

biology and ecology of aquatic organisms especially in the light of life history theory

The course lsquoMarine Systemsrsquo deals with the principles of marine ecology and the governance of marine systems The core

element of the course is a case study done by groups of four students and dealing with prominent issues in the management

of marine ecosystems all over the world Part of the trip is boat trip on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea

In the course lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and Governancersquo student get the opportunity to integrate the perspectives of

both natural and social sciences into practical marine environmental research and policy The course enables students to

explore the possible role of science in the public policy process by bringing together the key concepts in environmental

toxicology water quality public administration and environmental governance

lsquoMarine Environmental Quality and

Governancersquo

After the common basis students choose their specialisation including their thesis and internship However it is very

important that students learn to integrate and share their knowledge and learn through experience how to cooperate in a

multidisciplinary team This interaction is realised in the lsquoAcademic Master Clusterrsquo The concept course schedule can be

found in the three different specialisations

Wageningen University

Aquaculture

Marine Resource Ecology

Marine Governance

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

Wageningen University

Specialisation Aquaculture

Learning outcome

First year

Second year

It requires thorough knowledge and skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water

bodies animal physiology and insight in economic and social driving factors The learning outcome of this

specialisation is to design optimal and sustainable production of fish and other marine organisms in a global

perspective

In the second year there are two standard options to plan the study programme Work first on your thesis and then on your

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

Skills of a graduate

gt Reflect upon personal knowledge skills attitudes and functioning both individually and in discussions with others and design and plan their own study path

After successful completion of the MSc Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management the graduate is expected to be able to

gt Evaluate different stakeholder positions including the role of the expert and reflect upon cross-disciplinary views on marine ecosystem and aquatic production issues

gt Analyse critically the ethical and societal consequences of production of aquatic organisms and use of marine ecosystems define dilemmas and design possible solutions

gt Design a research plan in which the problem definition hypothesis research objectives and research questions are described in relation to relevant literature

gt Apply appropriate research methods and techniques including gathering new information and integrating this in existing theories in order to test the scientific hypotheses

by gathering new information and by integrating this in existing theories

gt Co-operate in an interdisciplinary and international team to perform project-based work

gt Communicate clearly (verbally and in writing) about the results of project and research work with specialists and non-specialists considering the nature of the target group

gt Analyse the physiology ecology and management of aquatic organisms and marine ecosystems

gt Analyse critically the social dynamics of the utilisation of marine resources and the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems

Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as corals aquarium animals shellfish shrimp and finfish) in a wide

range of culture environments (from semi-extensive pond cultures to high-tech recirculation systems) It requires thorough knowledge and

skills to maintain the biological physical and chemical integrity of water bodies and insight in economic and social driving factors

This specialisation focuses on the ecological processes that form the basis for marine food chains the interaction between species and the

functioning of the different ecosystems The sensitivity of marine communities for human interventions is analysed including climate change

fishery and habitat destruction

This specialisation focuses on the sustainable management of the living resources in the sea Models of population dynamics and fishery yield

are applied International regulations management tools and economic driving forces are studied and their impact on the marine and coastal

resources is evaluated

on intership or visa versa However a lot of flexibility in time exitsts eg continuing working during summer holiday or

combining with your thesis in Wageningen The study advisor can show you many possibilities

The specialisation Aquaculture deals with the culture of numerous aquatic organisms (such as finfish shrimp

shellfish ornamental fish corals sponges and algae) in a wide range of culture environments (from sea

enclosures to semi-extensive ponds and high-tech recirculation systems)

All of our Masters students apply to do a Sustainable Aquaculture degree Once you have completed the basic Foundation topics you can then decide which

outcome to study and what your final degree will be

All of our Masters degrees are created from discrete study topics and structured in the same way allowing for a greater flexibility of subject choice to

strengthen career prospects in all branches of aquaculture If you do not want to complete a full MSc degree you can also choose your exit point and can

study for a Postgraduate Certificate or a Postgraduate Diploma instead

There are two compulsory modules consisting of six topics of study taken consecutively giving instruction in basic aquaculture concepts and skills Successful completion of both foundation modules will qualify you for a Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Aquaculture Students select a particular named degree outcome at the end of the foundation modules Topics of study within the advanced modules are then chosen appropriately
