What is a typical week on an Aquaculture course?
There is not really such a thing as a typical week in Stirling. You may be in lectures, you may be in the lab or carrying out fieldwork on the shore and each week the content varies. So there is always plenty of interesting work to be getting on with. The University operates a two-semester system and in each semester, you will be studying 3 modules at a time, totalling 6 per year. Each module will consist of 1 or 2 lectures per week and 1 practical or field session per week in years one, two and three. The structure varies according to the subject and practicals will be a mixture of laboratory and field-based work. In your honours year you study 3 modules in semester 7 at an advanced level, either based at Stirling or as part of extended field trips. In your final year you will complete a piece of research where you are able to design and manage the time and effort required and you will finish with the presentation of a report and oral presentation to complete your degree programme.
