"My employer, a small salmon company in the northwest highlands of Scotland, was looking for someone with an academic background in aquaculture to innovate the company."

The courses are well-designed and encourage hands-on learning, rather than just reading through PowerPoint presentations. It allowed me to “get my foot in the door”, as my lecturer would say. My employer, a small salmon company in the northwest highlands of Scotland, was looking for someone with an academic background in aquaculture to innovate the company.

Without my course, I wouldn’t have had the aquaculture knowledge that I gained through research and international work experience, which gave me a broader view and understanding of techniques, research, technology and fish cultivation methods.
