The aim of the programme is to qualify students for jobs in fisheries management in private organisations, or public administration at the regional, national or international level. Students will during their stay in Troms be under close supervision by Professors Santos and Eide. Students will be linked to ongoing research projects where these are relevant and provided with assistance with project proposals. Empirical work will preferably be carried out in the students home countries as well as in Norway. Support links with institutions in the home country will be encouraged.
Close supervision is to be a feature of the dissertation period.
This occurs both through seminars and individual supervision. The College collaborates closely with Foreign Student Counsellor at the Student Welfare Organization. The Foreign Student Counsellor assists international students with questions of a practical or personal nature during their stay in Norway. Questions concerning student life, public service, student loans, or other personal matters are handled by this office. At The Norwegian College of Fishery Science, students have excellent study facilities.
