2. FISH PATHOLOGY PROGRAMME

2.1. Learning Output

Upon completion of the programme, students will get the knowledge, skills, attitudes and responsibilities of fish pathology.

– Knowledge

General knowledge:

CELO1: Students apply the knowledge of natural sciences, socio-politics and current practical issues to the fishery sector and human life.

Expertise knowledge:

CELO2: Students analyse data for surveys and research on aquatic diseases.

CELO3: Students evaluate the effectiveness of drug and chemical use, environmental management, disease management and quality of aquatic products at the requirement of their career.

CELO4: Students design the culture programme and aquatic animal health management towards aquaculture sustainability to get food safety and hygiene; that is suitable to actual human commands.

– Skills

General skills:

CELO5: Students think, analyse, predict and criticise to solve problems connected to the environment and aquatic diseases.

CELO6: Students play the role of members and leaders in teamwork to achieve the expected goals.

CELO7: Students communicate effectively by multi-media and multi-cultural; read and understand the expertise English documents.

CELO8: Students use modern equipment and technologies in disease diagnosis; research on the prevention and treatment of aquatic diseases.

Expertise skills

CELO9: Students perform well at diagnostic operations, use drugs and chemicals, culture, and manage the environment and aquatic animal health.

CELO10: Students apply appropriate methods and data for research, culture, and manage the environment and aquatic animal health.

CELO11: Students transfer the consulting aquaculture technology and manage the environment and aquatic animal health. Students trade drugs and chemicals to prevent and treat effectively of aquatic diseases.

– Attitude

CELO12: Students comply with the law, have professional expertise in behaviour and ethical standards, demonstrate civic responsibility, awareness of environmental protection, loving and protect aquatic animals.

CELO13: Students get a clear future orientation, demonstrating the spirit of entrepreneurship and a sense of lifelong learning.

2.2. Career orientation  

After completing the fish pathology programme, students can work as Technical officers, research officers, fishery extension officers, managers, market officers, consultants, entrepreneurs, managers, and leaders.

Work cover: Fisheries, especially in the aquatic diseases sector, socio-economic organizations, government organisms, research and educational institutions, businesses, and domestic and international NGOs.

In addition, after graduating, students can also become owners of their farms or shops for supplies of drugs, chemicals and feed in aquaculture.

2.3. Future orientation study

Students who graduate from the fish pathology programme can offer national or broad higher degrees or specialized courses in Aquatic Pathology, Fisheries, Livestock Animal husbandry, Veterinary medicine, and Biology. Students can develop careers to become experts, managers, leaders, and global citizens.
