Do you want to climate-proof our food supply for future generations?
Are you curious about what we can learn from microbes in nature, and how we can make them useful for humankind?
Do you want to understand the impact of global change on ecosystem functioning and biodiversity — and how this relates to wildlife ecology and animal behaviour?
In the Master’s programme Environmental Biology, you will explore how plants, animals, and microorganisms function in their environment, how they respond to environmental change, and how they interact with one another. These biological processes are studied across different levels of organisation, ranging from molecules, genes, and cells, to organisms, populations, communities, and entire ecosystems.
The research we offer is driven by major societal challenges, including sustainable food production, the effects of climate change, biodiversity conservation, and the management of natural resources. The knowledge we generate is applied to help address these global challenges.
