Master's Degree in Terrestrial Biodiversity: Characterization, Conservation and Management main objective is to train professionals specialised in the characterisation, conservation and management of terrestrial biodiversity, who, after completing their studies, will be able to join the labour market (both in public administration with competences in this field and in environmental consultancies or through self-employment).

The Master's Degree is fundamentally practical in nature, with the aim of ensuring that students master all the tools that they may need in the future. This orientation is new within the Spanish university system because, to date, there are no other degrees that share it. At the same time, the acquisition of these skills can also be extremely useful for all students who are interested in pursuing doctoral studies later.

The following admission criteria are established:

It will also assess the need for possible curricular adaptations, advise on the choice of alternative itineraries or studies, as well as promote the elimination of existing architectural barriers.
