Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainable Aquaculture (Level 8)

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production industry in the world, with a strong focus on sustainability. Nelson is New Zealand's central hub of research and seafood production leaders working in the region. 

You will learn to put marine biology theory into practice, and throughout your study, you will have networking and research opportunities that may lead you to the job you want.

This programme will give you an advanced theoretical understanding and the technical and practical skills related to sustainable aquaculture practices.

It will give you the skills to critically assess aquaculture systems and complete an industry research project as part of an internship or in your existing employment. This will encourage you to support the development of sustainable growth in the aquaculture sector through innovation. 

The programme has been developed in consultation with the aquaculture and scientific community and industry representatives.
