After 35 years in IT, I pursued my passion for aquaculture at TP. Returning to study later in life was challenging but incredibly fulfilling. The course deepened my understanding of modern aquaculture, from water quality to sustainable tech and bridged my long-time hobby with real industry knowledge through hands-on projects and expert guidance. This journey has broadened my perspective on food security and opened a meaningful second chapter in life, proving that learning never stops when you're chasing a new purpose.
