MA/MS in Behaviour, Evolution and Conservation

The Master's in behaviour, evolution and conservation deepens knowledge of ecology, behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology. It also develops technical, quantitative and research-management skills. Personal research projects make up 50 per cent of the credits and may involve field work, laboratory experiments, genomics, computing or modelling across animal, plant and microbial systems. The first semester consists of compulsory courses that cover concepts and methods. From the second semester, students carry out a personal Master's research project that begins with writing a research proposal.
