Title of the Degree Programme

CAPTURE FISHERIES TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT (CFTM)

Educational Programme

CFTM program is dedicated to bring in human resources competent in fishery utilization through the development of sustainable environmental friendly fishing science and technology, including fishing gear, fishery resources exploitation technology, fishing vessels and transport, capture fisheries policy, capture fisheries and fishing port management. Alumni of FMT major are aimed to be professionals, not only as managers and policy makers in regional and central level fishery, academics and scientist in a college or institute of higher education, but also as well as enterpreneurs.

CFTM major program is intended for highschool graduates from Indonesian provinces and abroad. Selections are carried out through USMI (report selection), SNMPTN (national selection), UTMI (internal selection) and BUD (Local Government Invitation). Annually it admits a total of 80-90 students. Currently there are more than 300 students on CFTM Major.
