The School of Aquaculture offers both Bachelor of Aquaculture(Honours) and Bachelor of Science(Honours) for graduates with an aquaculture, agriculture, general biology, or aquatic science background wanting to gain training and experience in aquacultural or aquatic research. A number of exciting project opportunities exist within our very active research program.

The Honours program can be undertaken on a full-time or part-time basis, an option that is taken up by students already working in industry. The program can also be started in either Feburary or July.

Several scholarships are available for entry to (full-time) Aquaculture Honours in 2005 or 2006. The scholarships target students with excellent undergraduate records and provide a HECS exemption plus support for accommodation, airfares and establishment, up to a maximum of $10 000. Applications will be considered up to 29 October 2005. The Honours course consists of a literature review, a research proposal, two seminars, and a research project. Students choose a project from those available and work closely with a supervisor to generate an original research thesis.

Students are required to complete all components of the course and write and submit a bound thesis on their research project.

If you are interested in enrolling in a Bachelor of Aquaculture (Hons) contact Dr Chris Bolch.
