Graduate Diploma of Marine and Antarctic Science with Specialisation in Sustainable Aquaculture

Program Overview

As a gateway to Antarctica and with a natural marine laboratory on your doorstep, the University of Tasmania provides an ideal base to study for a career in marine biology and the fisheries and aquaculture industries.

This unique program combines marine science with a focus on the southern ocean and Antarctica. You’ll have access to industry-leading facilities at the Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies (IMAS) and internationally recognised experts to help you kick-start your career.

The Graduate Diploma of Marine and Antarctic Science provides:

  • Practical skills alongside theoretical studies to broaden your experience and give you the edge when it comes to employment
  • More than lectures, labs and tutorials with study trip units that take learning to the Southern Ocean and into Australia's largest fisheries, aquaculture and seafood industries
  • Contacts, work experience and research links in Australia's largest fisheries and aquaculture industries (based in Tasmania)
  • Access to our international partner organisations and internationally recognised marine science organisations based in Tasmania


Specialisation: Sustainable Aquaculture
The Sustainable Aquaculture specialisation is comprised of four core units. The specialisation prepares graduates with advanced theoretical and practical application of scientific principles to the global aquaculture industry. This specialisation builds advanced knowledge on whole of lifecycle production techniques for freshwater and marine plants and animals, using examples from emerging species and commercial case studies across crustacean, molluscan, finfish and macroalgal culture. Underpinning scientific principles supporting animal welfare, growth and reproduction, health and disease management are explored in advanced units to prepare graduates for employment across a range of commercial or management careers. Research training units extend research skills appropriate to applied and strategic research for direct employment, or articulation to higher degree research programs.
