This Master’s programme provides you with both global and regional perspectives on problems related to reduced biodiversity. You will learn about issues in conservation biology related to why certain species are threatened and how they can be saved from extinction, as well as gain understanding for how ecosystem functions and ecosystem services are related to biodiversity. You will learn how to use modern population ecology and genetics, in addition to various analytical methods within conservation biology. You will obtain concrete tools for managing and recreating natural ecosystems and for mapping the loss of species variety. Excursions and field projects are included in many of the courses. Field instruction is an important part of the programme and is provided at no cost to the student. Elective courses allow you to specialise in tracheophytes, mosses, larvae, fungi, birds or insects (some of these courses are given in Swedish. 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. Teaching takes place on modern premises and in laboratories with advanced equipment.
