Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Have highly specialised knowledge of the science of artisanal mariculture and villageVillage Farming.
• To be able to mobilise, articulate and make the most of the knowledge and skills acquired in order to contribute to the management and implementation of a large-scale development project linked to artisanal mariculture and village farming.
• Be capable of organising and carrying out research, development or innovation work to understand a new issue relating to small-scale mariculture and village farming.
• To be able to communicate clearly, in a structured and well-argued manner, orally and in writing, to an informed or uninformed public, the principles underlying Artisanal Mariculture and Village Farming.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Theoretical courses can be viewed remotely. For this, video capsules are produced by the teachers for all theoretical courses and integrated into a flipped classroom system also offering spaces dedicated to exercises and tests. Students will thus have the opportunity to view these courses from Madagascar or abroad. Malagasy teachers and Belgian teachers traveling to Madagascar will be able to supplement these videos with face-to-face theoretical courses, especially in order to discuss what was covered remotely.
 

Prior Experience

The course will accept candidates with a Master's or Engineering degree. However, the Teaching Committee may select a few candidates who do not have the required diplomas but demonstrate significant experience in the field of artisanal mariculture and have a higher education diploma in science (bachelor's degree minimum).
