Research
From collaborative studies with The National Trust on the diversity of fish stocks to an investigation into commercial feed alternatives for carp, find out about the Undergraduate and Postgraduate research we've been carrying out...
University Centre Sparsholt is recognised worldwide for its expertise in providing education in fisheries, aquaculture and marine studies.
Our lecturing staff are known to be the experts in the industry and can often be found at conferences and industry forums discussing the latest techniques and their supporting research.
Students gain real industry experience on and off‑site that is under‑pinned by the high level of technical lecture content to prepare them for a range of careers or progression to courses at Master’s and PhD level.
Our industry contacts enable great employment prospects. Owing to the success of the work experience, the majority of our students have secured industry relevant employment before they graduate. Previous placements range from Scottish salmon farms, specimen carp fisheries in England, France and Spain and a tilapia farm in Jamaica to river keeping on local chalk streams, bait manufacturers, the London Aquarium and the Fish Disease Laboratory at Weymouth.
