"Our courses have attracted students from over 40 countries and more than 90 students have graduated at postgraduate level," says course director, Dr Neil Hazon.
Eligible candidates who are interested in the opportunity must first apply to the University of St Andrews to enroll on the Online Sustainable Aquaculture MSc course. Successful applicants can then apply for scholarship funding.
"In particular applicants should demonstrate how they can promote the development of sustainable aquaculture within their country," says Dr Hazon.
The pre-application window is 15 March - 4 April 2021, to allow time to complete the full application process, as you must receive an offer from University of St Andrews before you can apply for the scholarship funding.
Those interested need to act quickly and complete the Pre Application process.
