This Master’s programme focuses on ecology in lakes, marshlands, running water and the sea. You will learn about physical and chemical processes and how they affect plants and animals, as well as nutrient cycling in water. You will also learn about the interaction between organisms; for example, competition and predation, and interactions both within and between different populations in the aquatic food webs. You will practise chemical analyses and methods for taking specimens, as well as refine your species knowledge on planktons, invertebrates, large algae, other submerged aquatic plants and fish. We also discuss the effects of over-fertilisation, acidification and climate change with regard to aquatic systems. The programme includes applied courses that provide you with important expertise on, for example, the EU framework directives on water, environmental toxins and utilisation of geographic information systems (GIS), and implementation of the action programme for restoring damaged aquatic environments. The programme also provides you with specialised knowledge on experimental design and statistics, as well as training in analysing and interpreting biological data. You will practice both oral and written presentations and obtain ample experience in working in groups.
