Our changing climate makes studying ecology and evolutionary biology timely and important. The decrease in natural resources and biodiversity as well as changes in population dynamics and ecosystems means that we have a crucial need to understand different phenomena of life comprehensively and use this knowlege to predict the consequences of future change. The Masters programme in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology offers you the opportunity to reflect on the origin of life and its diversification over millions of years. In your studies, you will examine life at the DNA, organism, population, and ecosystem levels. Our teaching is based on recent international high quality research in ecology and evolutionary biology. The studies are practical and nature-oriented, including both laboratory and field work opportunities at the Konnevesi Research Station as well as theoretical approaches. Our programme has received good feedback from students and working life partners, especially in relation to our high quality and extensive teaching of Finnish nature. You are encouraged to supplement your degree with studies in fields such as statistics, chemistry, physics or social and economic sciences.
