Education Programs - Degrees and Diplomas

Flinders University has established a Bachelor of Technology (Aquaculture), which commenced in February 1997. The first higher education course of its kind in South Australia, this 3-year degree has been developed by the University with substantial support and involvement from the fishing industry and TAFE.

The BTech (Aquaculture) is based at the Adelaide campus of Flinders University, and some of the practical work, field projects, and workplace training takes place at the Lincoln Marine Science Centre.

The Pt Lincoln TAFE campus deliver a number of courses in Aquaculture at LMSC, including Certificate and Diploma level courses (2 years full-time or part-time equivalent). Students completing the TAFE Diploma may apply to the Faculty of Science & Engineering for credit if seeking to continue their studies at Flinders University.

LMSC students benefit from the use of a variety of state-of-the-art remote delivery methods including video-conferencing and internet-based tutorials.

Flinders University also has an extensive Marine Biology program, and the LMSC is used as a venue for field research, honours projects, and summer schools for the marine biology students. For further details, click on one of the following:
