The School of Aquaculture offers both Bachelor of Aquaculture(Honours), Bachelor of Science(Honours) and Bachelor of Marine Science Honours in Aquaculture 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. The scholarships target students with excellent undergraduate records.

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.

Students who successfully complete an Honours qualification may be interested in a PhD.
