Study how taxonomy and systematics provide the foundation for our understanding of biological diversity on this Master's course.

This includes the chance to explore a range of computing, morphological and molecular techniques.
You'll attend lectures and carry out computer and laboratory-based practicals at the museum before applying your skills to field work at Imperial's Silwood Park campus.
