Dean’s Message
Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera
Alhamdullilah, Syukur kehadrat Allah Subhanahu wata’ala,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the School of Fisheries and Aquaculture
Sciences, and well done for choosing this programme to enhance your
knowledge and skills. Our school is a great and suitable place for you as we have
a strong reputation in discovery, innovation and research excellence in the field
of aquatic resources. Through our established academic programmes, we
provide a strong foundation for our students to be equipped with expertise that
can be beneficial to our communities and environments.
Currently, the School of Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences is the only school at
Universiti Malaysia Terengganu that offers academic programmes at all levels,
namely Diploma, Bachelor, Master and PhD. At Master’s level, we offer students
both methods of study in coursework and full-research.
The Master of Science in Aquaculture programme started in 2005 with the
objective to support the development of the aquaculture industry by producing
qualified human resources with excellent knowledge, skills, professionalism and
ethics. We are proud to be the only university in Malaysia which offers this
programme, contributing to the development of research and innovation
towards sustainable aquaculture in Asia Pacific region.
Subsequently, the Master of Science in Tropical Fisheries is a unique programme
that focuses on the issues and management related to fisheries in tropical
region. This is the only programme of its kind in Malaysia. Another distinctive
value of this programme is its involvement with our partner universities abroad.
By joining this programme, students have the opportunities to study in Sam
Ratulangi University (Indonesia), Kagoshima University (Japan), Kasetsart
