• Students will study ecology from a plant, animal, fungal, bacterial, and systems perspective. Students will also explore ecological and evolutionary processes at a molecular level and on a regional and global scale. In addition, students will carry out field observations and experiments to identify evolutionary and/or ecosystem patterns and functions.
• The Master takes two years and is taught in English. In the first year, students will study ecology and evolution, as well as undertake their first internship. In the second year students will choose one of the following specializations: 
  • Ecology & Evolution
  • International Master Biodiversity, Ecology & Evolution (IMABEE)
  • Science Communication
  • Science in Society
  • Science Education
• This program enables students to understand and explain why the natural world looks the way it does. Students will also develop the tools to solve problems caused by pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change, etc. 
• Students will study how organisms interact, how species evolve –and why they become extinct. By using a combination of modern molecular techniques, computer modeling, and experiments in the lab and in the field, students will gain an understanding of how ecosystems operate at all levels of biological organization.
