When deciding where to study aquaculture we recommend that you ask the University that you are considering studying at the following questions:

1. Will I have access to a large on-site aquaculture research & teaching facility that includes temperate & tropical areas for marine & freshwater animals?

2. Does the degree course offer me plenty of opportunity to get lots of hands-on work, including: practicals for every unit most weeks, group projects allowing me to develop skills to work in teams, farm visits, & intensive periods of industry work experience as a key component of your course?

3. Will I be part of a class that is small, where friendly interaction is encouraged & where I will have direct access to lecturers and tutors?

4. Will all my teachers be active researchers working on key aquaculture species & with direct links to industry in Tasmania and Australia?

5. Will I be doing a course that is unique & internationally recognised and is selected by students from all over Australia & the World?

6. Does the course allow me opportunity to continue on to undertake a research degree in a research active environment?

7. Do your units prepare students for the workforce through work experience, generic skill development, progressive development of knowledge, career planning and workshops on job applications.

8. Are guest speakers, international and national, used to provide industry relevant perspectives - including speakers from industry, government and research organisations?
