Matís is a partner in a new course in ocean-related innovation that will be taught in the Westman Islands in the autumn of 2016. In new studies, emphasis is placed on the interplay between innovation, business and the fisheries sector, and thus opportunities and opportunities for creativity and employment in the field. A true educational adventure in the Islands for one year, which results in a diploma degree and a basis for further study for those who want to learn more. A great opportunity for education in close collaboration with the business community, including us.
This is a diploma program (84 ECTS) that trains students to use the knowledge of business and fisheries sciences to work on practical projects. Teaching takes place in the Westman Islands and emphasis is placed on strong connections with the business community. The program is a collaborative project between Reykjavík University and the University of Akureyri
Extensive professional knowledge and skills are required in the Icelandic fisheries sector. The industry's success is based on a strong value chain that spans everything from fishing to marketing and sales abroad.
Upon completion of studies, a student receives a diploma degree that is useful in the labor market and can also have credits assessed for further studies at RU or the University of Akureyri.
