About this programme

The diversity of the biosphere is shaped by selection and evolution in complex and dynamic environments characterised by a complex mix of biotic and abiotic agents. Since the start of the Anthropogenic Era, it faces accelerating, large-scale anthropogenic changes in land use, pollutants, biological invasions and climate. Students of the Master of Science in “Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution” develop an in-depth understanding of the processes and service functions associated with biodiversity from molecular to global scales. They can quantify diversity in genes, morphology, behaviour, or community composition and link it with biological function and ecosystem stability. With this integrative view, students learn to predict ecological and anthropogenic effects on biodiversity, and to design, conduct and analyse rigorous empirical investigations under laboratory and field settings. Furthermore, BEE MSc students strengthen their skills to communicate their findings and to contribute actively to ongoing societal debates.
