Introduction
This 1-year full-time or 2-year part-time course is offered by the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology at Launceston.
Admission & Prerequisites
A candidate for the degree of BAqua(Hons) requires the permission of Faculty. Except with the permission of Faculty, candidates shall have qualified for admission to the degree of BAqua at this University or an equivalent qualification in which the specialisation prerequisites have been completed and approved by Faculty for this purpose. Specialisation prerequisites are credit level or better in the final three semesters of study.
Course Objectives
The course provides advanced knowledge and training in aquaculture and aquatic biology, and training in research to prepare candidates for advanced research programs and/or employment in research organisations.
Career Outcomes
A Bachelor of Aquaculture with Honours provides the opportunity to consolidate skills acquired in the BAqua course. The Honours program provides practical research training through a specialised project that facilitates the design and conduct of future investigations. Graduates could expect to obtain employment in the same areas as those graduating with a BAqua, but could expect to move into research-based positions. The Honours course allows graduates to move into higher degrees by research.
Articulation to/from Course
Graduates from other institutions with degrees acceptable to Faculty may be accepted into the Honours course.
Graduates of the BAqua(Hons) course may enrol for a higher degree by research.
