This course integrates key aspects of aquaculture, including breeding, production, processing, and the design of aquaculture systems, all while emphasising the importance of food security. Learning activities are based primarily at Curtin Malaysia, providing you with engaging, hands-on experiences on the farm. Upon completion, you&#8217;ll be qualified to pursue careers as aquaculture entrepreneurs, technicians, researchers, research assistants, and aquafeed production officers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Year 1, you will focus on developing foundational skills such as writing, speaking, critical thinking, numeracy, and information technology, along with scientific knowledge in aquaculture and fisheries. You will also study fish biology and water quality monitoring. Year 2 builds on this foundation with specialised learning in aquaculture farming, including fish breeding, nutrition, feed, and pond construction. Towards the end of the program, industrial training will help you gain the practical skills and industry experience needed to become job-ready.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"table-block\" data-segment=\"all\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td><td>Perth, Malaysia<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Study method<\/strong><\/td><td>Full-time<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Study mode<\/strong><\/td><td>On-campus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Intake<\/strong><\/td><td>February, July, October<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/td><td>2 years<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why study diploma in aquaculture at Curtin Malaysia?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Curtin is ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide in the 2024 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll get to learn in the new industry standard Curtin Aquaculture Research Laboratory (CARL).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our courses will equip you with the relevant skills, knowledge, and understanding to progress in your chosen career.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll gain practical skills on campus and through on-farm learning experiences.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll get to learn from Curtin\u2019s highly qualified aquaculture experts.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upon successful completion, you&#8217;ll be eligible to join degree courses at Curtin Malaysia with advanced standing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What you\u2019ll learn<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Understand the principles of good aquaculture practices and system management&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply theories and concepts to solve challenges in aquaculture farming and system management&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demonstrate practical skills in managing aquaculture farming operations&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate effectively, both in writing and orally, with diverse stakeholders, individually or in a team&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use relevant technologies to analyse data and generate innovative solutions&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demonstrate autonomy, leadership, and responsibility in managing tasks&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pursue lifelong learning and develop entrepreneurial skills in aquaculture&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comply with professional ethics and promote sustainable development in local and international environments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<section\n                class=\"block accordions\" role=\"complementary\"\n        aria-label=\"Accordion\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n\n        \n\n    <div class=\"accordions__container\">\n                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n            <button class=\"accordion__heading accordion__toggle\" aria-controls=\"entry-requirements\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Entry requirements<span class=\"ico ico-chevron-fat ico--deep-blue\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\"><path d=\"M10.91 30.41l-2.82-2.82L19.67 16 8.09 4.41l2.82-2.82L25.33 16 10.91 30.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content content\" id=\"entry-requirements\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Qualification<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Score<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SPM<\/td>\n<td>3 credits including Mathematics and one science subject<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>STPM<\/td>\n<td>Grade C (GP 2.00) in any subject, or its equivalent;
