How do organisms and their environment interact at both a molecular level and a global level?
If this is an area that interests you, and you want to make a contribution to science and sustainability, a Master’s programme in Ecology and Evolution at VU Amsterdam is for you.
You'll study ecology from a plant, animal, fungal, bacterial and systems perspective. You’ll also explore ecological and evolutionary processes at a molecular level and on a regional and global scale. In addition, you’ll carry out field observations and experiments to identify evolutionary and/or ecosystem patterns and functions.
The Master's programme takes two years and is taught in English. In the first year you’ll study ecology and evolution, as well as undertake your first internship. In the second year you’ll choose one of the following specialisations:
