GEE launches MRes course in Biodiversity, Evolution and Conservation
29 November 2011
The Department of Genetics, Evolution, and Environment is launching a new MRes in Biodiversity, Evolution and Conservation, to start in the 2012/13 academic year. This programme provides training in scientific approaches to studying and preserving biodiversity. The research led programme covers both basic research on the evolutionary and ecological processes that produced our present biodiversity, and applied research on how to preserve this biodiversity in the future.
The programme is based in GEE and run in collaboration with the Natural History Museum and the Zoological Society of London’s Institute of Zoology. It thus provides unparalleled opportunities for students to learn and conduct research across the full breadth of pure and applied research in biodiversity.
More information can be found on the programme webpage
