Curriculum:
The Master of Science in Evolutionary ecology is multidisciplinary and builds on the student’s knowledge of ecology, evolution and organism biology in order to explore and appreciate biological diversity. During the first year, students are introduced to traditional aspects of biology such as systematics, taxonomy, and distribution, and to current research topics in ecology including life-history strategies, behavior, and evolutionary adaptations of organisms. Students are also introduced to how individuals, populations and species are influenced by and cope with spatial and temporal changes in the environment, including climate change and human activities such as habitat modification.
The second year is focused on a research project including a written thesis (30-60 higher education credits) with an appropriate advisor. The Master’s thesis is carried out in fields related to research interests at the Linnaeus University Center for “Ecology and Evolution of Microbial model Systems, EEMiS”, including practicals giving the opportunity to apply acquired knowledge.”
