- Description/content
- In this Master's programme, students acquire advanced knowledge and research practice in biodiversity, ecology, evolution, systematics and conservation biology. Moreover, students have access to a broad spectrum of modules across faculties for further scientific specialisation and qualification as well as professional practice. The broad spectrum of education in the fields of biology mentioned above enables students to develop their individual scientific profile.
Optionally, students have the possibility to pursue a double degree in the IMABEE programme (https://www.imabee.eu/) at one of the partner universities: Amsterdam (NL) or Rennes I (F). The first year is spent at the home university (60 CP) whereas the second year (60 CP) is completed at one of the partner universities, including the Master's thesis (30 CP).
