Ecology and Evolution

General Information

The Master's degree programme in Ecology takes two years and is offered by the research institute CEES (Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies). You will design most of your study programme yourself. Ecology is an internationally oriented field and the degree programme has a strong focus on research. You will conduct one or two independent research projects in your field. Instead of the second research project, you can also choose to do an internship. In addition, you will follow optional courses, learn to present your research results and write a Master's thesis.

Available specialisation:

• Evolutionary Biology

Career Prospects

Ecology graduates often find jobs as research assistants at a university or an institution for applied research, but you can also become a project officer, consultant, policy officer or teacher.
