Mobility in industry
Study of aquaculture provides extensive travel opportunities; I have already travelled to Ireland, Australia, Kiribati and Tahiti for both work and study within the aquaculture industry.
Permanent or temporary work available
Wide variety of options for students on completion of their studies. Different aquaculture occupations offer different levels of pay and availability of permanent and temporary positions.
Depending on the level and type of qualification you are seeking in aquaculture, studies may take anything from 1 up to 5 years excluding PhD. A Masters usually takes between 1 and 2 years to complete
Some companies will offer their employees training and education grants as part of their pay package and/ or may suggest what course they should take. While taking a degree or an interest in aquaculture, you should make sure to get a work experience placement in the area/ discipline of aquaculture that is of interest to you.
