About the programme

Career Opportunities

With an MSc in Aquatic Science and Technology, you can pursue a career with:

consultancy and engineering companies, such as COWI, DHI and Orbicon;
international organizations, such as ICES (the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea);
national authorities, e.g. the Danish AgriFish Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency, or municipalities;
companies, industry and interest organisations involved in aquaculture (e.g. AquaPri or AquaGroup), fisheries (e.g. the Danish Fishermen’s Association) or off-shore energy (e.g. DONG);
universities and other research institutions.

Aquatic Science and Technology is a relatively new MSc programme. Therefore, the number of graduates is still limited. In January 2015 90 per cent of our graduates have found study-relevant jobs. Approximately half of the current MSc graduates have been awarded a PhD position, while the rest has been employed by companies or local authorities.
