The master study course aquaculture is a research-oriented university study course of a total duration of 2 years. It teaches core competences regarding marine fish aquaculture, sea-ranching and the aquaculture of aquatic algae. In addition, competences on economics, fishery protection law, environmental law and nature conservation law as well as technical plant operation are elaborated, enabling the students to process complex problems regarding aquaculture development and implementation.

The aquaculture of marine and limnic organisms is a diverse and dynamic economic and research field of increasing global significance. An establishment and extension of sustainable aquacultures requires competences from various disciplines, ranging from the biology of organisms over industrial production and technical implementation to legal bases and economically oriented marketing and operation aspects.

This permanently developing business branch needs highly qualified staff, i.e. persons who are, due to their broad basic education and specialised knowledge, able to look after aquaculture plants and to develop innovative concepts for future applications.
