Page 2 of 5, 68 Master Programs in Ecology in Europe for 2024

In the Master's Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, you can become familiar with a wide variety of topics in three areas: ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology. You can choose studies from any of these areas, as well as from other master's degree Programs. The Program is diverse and multidisciplinary: teaching is done with lectures, laboratory and computer training courses, interactive seminars, study tours and field courses. The field courses range from the northern subarctic region to tropical rainforests.

Climate change and environmental impacts resulting from land use, materials, chemicals, and energy are immensely complex issues, placing enormous pressures on the planet and our ways of living. When coupled with rapid social changes and developments in technology, economics, and environmental policy, the demand for expert knowledge and skills in these areas is vast.

This is an education for you that have a bachelor degree in biology and wish to get a more advanced knowledge in ecology to increase your possibilities to get...

This master´s degree programme is offered to students interested in the environmental protection of all major components of the Earth, with strong focus on the role of sustainable agriculture and forestry in the soil, water and air preservation, and the application of environmentally friendly remedial technologies to improve their quality and properties.

The European MSc Agroecology is a European program coordinated by ISARA and leading to a double degree between ISARA and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).

The goal of this program is to educate specialists for research, development, education, business, and the public sector to solve problems in modern biomedical sciences, environment, and ecology. You will gain a good knowledge of general principles of operation and pathology in live systems, the capabilities, and limitations of modern biophysical methods, principles of data analysis, and planning of the scientific investigation.

The educational objectives of the course Master in Marine Biology and Ecology aim to train a highly qualified and specialized professional figure capable of facing environmental problems with a strongly biological approach, but at the same time able to embrace all the ecological processes that are the basis of the production of goods and services that the marine environment offers to society.

Landscape patterns and land use change are important components for understanding ecological processes affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services. As most political and economic drivers are expressed through human activities, having a landscape focus has recently been recognized as important to address many of our current environmental goals. Our education program builds on our research strengths in applied historical ecology, landscape analysis, and resource management, linking community ecology with restoration and management of both terrestrial and marine environments.

Our Master’s program in Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development is a research-focused program that introduces you to the complexity of interactions between humans and nature. You learn to use resilience thinking as an approach to understanding and managing social-ecological systems.

Our Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity will give you essential knowledge to understand nature’s complex connections and the relationships between species, their environment, and climate. Evolutionary ecology and experimental design are important aspects of a program where you will have opportunities to study empirical ecology in both the field and laboratory.

Designed for students passionate about Biodiversity and Ecosystems, the Coastal and Marine Biology and Ecology (CMBE). The course delivers qualified education on fundamental and applied biological and ecological marine sciences, integrating eScience and more traditional approaches with the aim of understanding the fundamental ecological mechanisms underlying phenomena occurring at various scales in coastal, transitional, and marine ecosystems.

We all want to build a society which will enable our children to prosper. As the complexity and urgency of many sustainability problems increase, we can no longer think about our investment needs only in terms of technical products with great performance. In every investment decision, a growing need to contribute more effectively to sustainability challenges has to be taken into account. Climate warming, weakening air quality, water pollution and waste are examples of current global sustainability challenges. Sometimes traditional technologies offer the best solutions, but we also need novel solutions to complex environmental problems.

The M.Sc. in Biodiversity and Ecology program has a duration of 3 academic semesters (and up to 8 semesters for part-time study) and requires the completion of 90 ECTS.

The International Curriculum "Global Change Ecology & Sustainable Development Goals - GCE & SDG" aims to train a generation of scientists and managers able to analyze complex problems related to global change and to propose solutions for mitigation and adaptation with a multi-scale and multidisciplinary approach, applied to both natural and anthropized systems.

Both the ocean and freshwater bodies cover more than 70% of the planet and over 40% of the human population lives in coastal areas. One of the challenges for future researchers and decision makers is to understand the functioning of the aquatic systems for a better management of water resources.
