About Us

The University of Tasmania was officially established on 1st January 1890, by an Act of the Colony's Parliament and was only the fourth university to be established in nineteenth-century Australia. The University was originally located on the Domain in Hobart. As the University developed, it outgrew its original place and in the early 1940's began to transfer its departments to Sandy Bay, which became the new home for the institution.

Course Objectives

The course provides advanced knowledge and training in aquaculture and aquatic biology, and training in research to prepare candidates for advanced research programs and/or employment in research organisations.

Career Outcomes

A Bachelor of Aquaculture with Honours provides the opportunity to consolidate skills acquired in the BAqua course. The Honours program provides practical research training through a specialised project that facilitates the design and conduct of future investigations. Graduates could expect to obtain employment in the same areas as those graduating with a BAqua, but could expect to move into research-based positions. The Honours course allows graduates to move into higher degrees by research.
