COURSE BREAKDOWN

Based on the DGC assessment, candidates whose MSc background are not directly or related to Fisheries and Aquaculture will be required to take the following bridge courses from the MSc program in Aquaculture and Fisheries before becoming eligible to register for the PhD courses proper during Year I Semester I. Consequently, for such students the course work duration before proceeding to the PhD Dissertation will be one and half academic year. These courses are considered part of the student’s PhD training and thus appear on the student’s academic transcript. The course schedule for students taking bridge courses will accordingly extend from Year I Semester I through Year II Semester I i.e. one and half academic year.
