International Fisheries ManagementMaReMa > IFM
Objective
The main aim of the program at the NCFS is to provide an interdisciplinary education. This is a programme which combines economics, biology, fisheries technology and principles of organisation and law. The programme is teaching-intensive, with courses (comprising 90 study points) and a research project (30 study points), with more emphasis on course work than on the individual research project.
Course programme
The IFM course programme has been revised after a major evaluation process and a new course programme starts in 2007. The basic course idea is kept but some significant changes have been made.
Programme administration
NCFS has the academic and administrative responsibility for the programme. The Programme board is in charge of programme coordination. Chairman of the Board is professor Bjørn Hersoug. Programme coordinators are Ane-Marie Hektoen, and Kirsten Zachariassen.
Admission requirements
In order to be admitted in the Master's Degree Programme in International Fisheries Management, it is required that applicants hold a Bachelor's Degree in Science or Social Science (or equivalent degree). It is desirable that applicants have knowledge of mathematics and statistics corresponding to the university's introductory courses in these subjects.
All lectures are given in English. A good working knowledge of English is therefore essential. An English proficiency test (TOEFL, IELTS or equivalent) should be enclosed in order to fulfil the entrance requirements. The minimum score required in the TOEFL test is 500, and a minimum score of 5 is required in the IELTS test. The entry is competitive and based on educational background and professional experience, as well as stated purpose.
