Can I complete a Master's degree at AUF with my Bachelor's degree?

This depends on your Bachelor's degree programme. If you have any doubts, it is best to contact the person responsible for the degree programme.
If you are interested in studying aquaculture, you should first have completed a course in agriculture, engineering, food sciences, biology or business administration. Students are well prepared for the courses in livestock sciences, plant production and environment by studying agricultural or biosciences. Engineering or scientific-oriented (environmental) courses form a solid basis for the Master's in Environmental Engineering Sciences.
