Overview

On average you will go on one field trip a week, take part in at least three different work placements and complete applied research projects.

The Aquaculture and Marine Conservation programme at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology was designed with industry so you will graduate not only with the practical skills and knowledge in aquatic ecology and marine conservation biology but also communication and operations management skills so you can make an immediate contribution to the aquaculture industry whether locally, nationally or internationally.

Opportunities

The Nelson area is also a major hub of research in this field. The programme brings together the knowledge and expertise of Nelson and Marlborough aquaculture industry members as well as the Nelson scientific community to provide you with an informative and dynamic learning environment.
