The pioneer professor of the College of Natural Resources and Environmental Management was the Chairman of the Postgraduate Committee that prepared the guidelines and modalities which led to the establishment of MOUAU Postgraduate School in 1996. In CNREM we offer postgraduate courses aimed at imparting specialized knowledge, skill and development of the spirit of enquiry leading to the attainment of a high level of expertise in the management of our natural resources and the environment. Our postgraduate programmes are conducted in such a way that the students go through coursework and research in an atmosphere of intellectual independence and individual creativity. We have highly experienced and motivated postgraduate academic staff who conduct lectures and provide adequate supervision for our postgraduate students. In CNREM we provide academic programmes in the three departments (FOREM, FISHARM and EMT) leading to the award of postgraduate diplomas (PGD), Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees and any other postgraduate degree that may be approved by the University Senate.
Degrees offered:
a) PGD
b) M.Sc.
i) Fisheries and Hydrobiology
ii) Aquaculture option
iii) Aquaculture Pollution and Environmental Management option
c) PhD
iv) Fisheries and Hydrobiology
v) Aquaculture option
vi) Aquaculture Pollution and Environmental Management option.
