Master in Organism Biology and Ecology (120cr)

Transcription

1 Master in Organism Biology and Ecology (120cr) Prof. Frédéric Silvestre Prof. Renate Wesselingh (under construction)

2 Objectives : to train high level scientists in relation to modern questions of environmental biology in a broad sense, to develop an expertise to address diverse problems of global changes. Key words : environment, sustainable development, conservation, biodiversity, ecology, evolution, ecotoxicology, climate change, marine biology, aquatic ecology, terrestrial ecology, food crisis, Career opportunities : research, management, expertise, services, entrepreneurship, teaching,

3 Some features : Since Co-organised UCL/UNamur Several Departments and Faculties (ILEE, URBE, BIOL, AGRO, Sciences, ) Between 20 and 35 students per year 4 months internship in M2 Long research experience : thesis of 10 months 3 finalities : «approfondie, spécialisée, didactique»

4 Modern techniques of molecular biology Comparative biology : focused on many different species Integrative biology : all biological levels are integrated (from genes to ecosystems) Evolutionary biology : different timescale evolutionary perspectives Field ecology
