Fish and aquaculture products are one of the main sources of highly digestible animal protein and highly unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3), which is why their demand has doubled over the last three decades. However, fish catches, both marine and inland, have stabilised at around 90 million tonnes, while aquaculture fish production has increased tenfold to 56 million tonnes (38 of inland and 18 of marine origin) according to FAO data. In the coming years, the increase in world population and the rise in per capita consumption (currently around 18 kg per person/year) will lead to a considerable increase in the demand for fish, which will have to be supplied by aquaculture. The main species produced by aquaculture in the world are the various species of carp, kelp, oyster, clam and tilapia, although the ones that provide the most economic value are shrimp and salmon. In Europe, the most important species are mussels, salmon, trout, oysters, sea bream, carp and sea bass. In the coming years, in addition to the consolidation and improvement of the production of these species, the introduction of new, faster-growing and larger species will be necessary to allow for their processing. In any case, environmental, social and economic sustainability criteria must be a priority, and food safety must also be guaranteed for consumers. Countries should therefore recognise the strategic value of aquaculture for the supply of fish to the population. The future of aquaculture will require an adequate legislative framework, clear support from administrations, innovative companies with financial capacity, the promotion of R+D+I, and well-trained professionals who are able to optimise production systems and introduce new technologies and scientific advances. In this sense, the aim of the Inter-University Master in Aquaculture is to train highly qualified scientists and professionals who contribute to the development of the aquaculture sector.

One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme.

There are a number of bachelor’s degrees at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.
To get onto an undergraduate program at UPV, you will need to:
• Have passed the University Access Test of the Spanish education system • Have passed a Specific Higher Vocational Training, Advanced Plastic Arts and Design Specialist and Advanced Sports Specialist • Have passed the University Entrance Examinations for over 25s or 45s or the procedure for those over 40 with professional or work experience • Hold a university degree • Hold the required studies, according to the educational system of a foreign country and meeting the academic requirements required in their educational systems to access their universities. Students must obtain the corresponding accreditation at the UNED, which may require the prior approval of their degrees of access
At UPV, all degrees have admission caps indicating the maximum number of new students who can enrol in certain classes. Students who pre-enrol are arranged based on their admission mark and this determines who is offered a place.
For tuition, students can either make payment in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.
International students on undergraduate programs must undergo the university’s pre-registration process, and different dates are assigned to each Autonomous Community. Before carrying out the pre-registration students must obtain the necessary documentation at the UNED .
To earn a place at postgraduate level on a master’s degree program at UPV, students must:
• Hold an official university degree in Spain or a degree issued by a higher education institution belonging to another member state of the EHEA that authorizes access to master’s degrees
Graduates may also access a master's degree according to educational systems outside the EHEA without validating their degree if the university is equivalent to a Spanish university degree.
After the corresponding pre-registration process, students will be admitted if they hit the academic criteria. In some cases, a student may be required to complete complementary training based on the previous accredited training.
Students can pay their tuition in one instalment, two instalments, or in eight instalments.
International students need to undergo the university pre-registration process.
