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

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

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)

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

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

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

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)

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

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
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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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
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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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
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)

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

Foundation Modules
Advanced Modules (January to April) (choose two from six)
AQUPX1- Principles of Aquaculture (topics Aquatic Animal Biology and Health Aquatic Animals in the Environment Aquatic Animal Nutrition and Food
Safety)
AQUPX2 - Aquaculture Production (topics Aquatic Animal Reproduction amp Genetics Aquatic Production Systems Aquaculture in Practice)
AQUPY4 - Aquaculture Development (topics Policy Planning amp Management Livelihoods amp Aquatic Resources Management Business amp Financial
AQUPY3 - Advanced Aquaculture Production (topics Aquaculture Engineering Practical Feed Production Non-fish Aquaculture)
AQUPY2 - Animal Health amp Breeding (topics Broodstock Management amp Genetics Epidemiology amp Health Control Ecotoxicology)
AQUPY1 - Aquatic Environmental Resources (topics Environmental Management GIS and Remote Sensing Biodiversity amp Sustainable Development)
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
