*NEW* MSc Biodiversity and Global Change
The new MSc Biodiversity and Global Change focuses on the evolutionary and ecological processes that underpin biodiversity. The MSc will provide vocational training for those developing careers in applied conservation, environmental policy, and environmental management.

MRes in Biodiversity, Evolution and Conservation
Biodiversity is vital for providing food, fuel, clean water and other ecosystem services that our wellbeing depends upon. However, factors such as habitat loss and climate change are resulting in widespread extinction. Basic scientific research on the evolutionary and ecological processes that produced our present biodiversity, and applied research on how to preserve this biodiversity in the future are crucial for preventing further losses. This research-led programme is run in collaboration with the Institute of Zoology and the Natural History Museum, providing rigorous training and unparalleled opportunities across the full breadth of pure and applied research in evolutionary, ecological, and conservation science.
