About

Marine Science and Fisheries is the new name of the former department of Fisheries Science and Technology. This evolution reflects changes that are taking place in the world of applied marine sciences. Fisheries is no longer the science of catching fish: it is integrated with many other fields of studies  such as marine ecology, aquaculture, coastal zone management and  marine conservation. 

Overview

The student should complete the course work requirements specified in the degree plan with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00. For the thesis, the candidate is required to conduct the necessary literature review, undertake the research, analyze the results, write the report and communicate the results at an oral defense. 

This work need not necessarily be original research, but should be a new application of ideas. The student should identify the research problem in consultation with the supervisor, which normally takes place in the second semester. 

The student should register for the thesis in the third semester after having completed at least 12 credits of the course work.
