| Programme description |
The International Fisheries Management programme examines multidisciplinary management problems in the exploitation of marine and freshwater resources.
The program gives knowledge of scientific theory and methods, and gives the students experience in the use of scientific theory and method, and develop the students´ understanding and reflection of International Seafood Management. The student carries out six course modules over a period of 1.5 years (total of 60 ECTS). The students then do their fieldwork to gather data and information for the thesis (30 ECTS). A typical thesis is problem-oriented and the model can be based on both primary and secondary data. Themes should require a limited amount of field or experimental work, due to the time constraint, and the thesis should include a literature survey or review, theory and methods used, data applied, results and policy and managerial implications.
