Master of Science in Aquaculture
The MSc Aquaculture calls upon the UGent and European aquaculture expertise to educate and train students and scholars from European and third countries in order to stimulate transfer of knowledge to and from Europe, nurturing in this way a sustainable development of aquaculture in these countries. We offer a long-standing worldwide reputation in the field of education and training in aquaculture.
Open Days
Do you consider an English-taught master's programme at the faculty of Bioscience Engineering? Or an international master programme that leads you to several European universities in two years?
What are the options? What does an international master programme add to your student journey, your (international) network and your future career? Q&A sessions with students and alumni are part of the webinbar.
Graduation Fair
