Master of Science in Aquatic Pathobiology
Program Overview
The global demand for fish is soaring. In the UK alone, the aquaculture industry was worth around £1.4 billion in 2024. With demand on the rise, the market is set to expand even further over the next five years (2025-2030) (source: IBIS World).
The need for aquaculture expertise is growing. Effective disease management is vital to the industry's prosperity.
Our Aquatic Pathobiology Masters gives you a unique opportunity to study the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of aquatic animal diseases in cultured organisms.
You’ll study at the Institute of Aquaculture, one of the top institutions in this field. Their facilities include:
- freshwater sites in Central Scotland;
- tropical and temperate freshwater recirculation systems on campus;
- marine facilities in the west of Scotland.
The course combines practical work and field visits with class-based training. You’ll focus on aquatic disease diagnosis and health management challenges drawn from real industry situations. You’ll also develop an understanding of the biology, husbandry and environment of farmed aquatic species.
