This Official Master’s has been designed to cover the professional and research needs in all areas related to Aquaculture. To ensure its success, the Master’s combines the academic, professional and research focuses. For this, not only do the three Universities of Galicia’s University System participate (Sistema Universitario Gallego (SUG) but also all the social bodies which are involved in any area in Galicia related to Aquaculture, including training centres (Instituto Gallego de Formación en Aquacultura, IGAFA), research centres (Instituto Español de Oceanografía, IEO in Vigo and Coruña; Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas CSIC, Vigo; Centros de Investigaciones Marinas, CIMA, in Corón and Ribadeo), as well as associations and clusters of companies such as the Cluster de Aquacultura de Galicia and the Organización de Productores de Mejillón de Galicia (OPMEGA)[Galicia’s Organisation of Producers of Mussels] . Theoretical teaching is delivered via video conference from the Faculties of Biology and Science of the 3 Universities and face-to-face in the participating non-university centres. Practical teaching is always delivered face-to-face.
The masters are organized by modules.
