Bachelor in Aquatic Sciences

The available data indicate that graduates are spread across a diverse range of jobs. Based on the information collected, we can say that graduates have found a placement, although they may not have a stable situation immediately, since many have started their professional life as research fellows. With the new bachelor’s degrees of only 3 years, according to the “Bologna Process” model, it becomes almost indispensable for new graduates to attend a master’s degree, and many even opt to obtain a doctoral degree, to strengthen their academic training, a situation that occurs in the majority of bachelor’s degrees in the various scientific fields. Besides scholarships, in terms of more stable employment, we can mention higher education, scientific research, aquaculture, and the food sector. Scientific dissemination, oceanariums and public aquariums have also made interesting professional careers possible for alumni of this bachelor’s degree. Others are spread across a wide range of professions, sometimes not related to the specific profile of Aquatic Sciences graduates, but in which skills developed in the bachelor’s degree are also applied. The recognition of sufficient qualification to teach biology in secondary education and of appropriate qualification for the area of natural sciences in basic education is another alternative in terms of career prospects.
