The Master of Science (MSc) is a two-year degree which encompasses both coursework and research. The first year involves mainly coursework and preliminary research preparation. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to existing fields of research, or to begin to develop new areas.

This 2-year Master's Program allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the ecology, evolution, and diversity of organisms. 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.

The Master of Science in aquatic ecology is a program at the advanced level, equivalent to 120 higher education credits. The program is international, multidisciplinary, and oriented towards current topics in aquatic microbiology, marine ecology, and environmental policies

Ecology Futures is a graduation track of the Master of Arts in Fine Art & Design at Avans. The two-year programme focuses on how bio art and bio design can create alternative futures. In which present-day ecological concerns are addressed.

The educational objectives of the course Master in Marine Biology and Ecology aim to train a highly qualified and specialized professional figure capable of facing environmental problems with a strongly biological approach, but at the same time able to embrace all the ecological processes that are the basis of the production of goods and services that the marine environment offers to society.

The master's degree in Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Global Change Ecology and Biodiversity Management is part of the GLOBE project. Led by the Universidad Rey Juan  Carlos (Spain) and as participants in the organisation and development are the University of Bangor (UK), the University of Lisbon (Portugal) and the Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala (Mexico), as well as various collaborating institutions from various sectors  (consultancies, NGOs, foundations, etc.).

Our Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity will give you essential knowledge to understand nature’s complex connections and the relationships between species, their environment, and climate. Evolutionary ecology and experimental design are important aspects of a program where you will have opportunities to study empirical ecology in both the field and laboratory.

Applied ecology is a crucial aspect of knowledge in today's world, taking into account one of the main challenges facing Man today: global changes and the consequent loss of biodiversity in ecosystems. In this way, it is intended with this Master in Applied Ecology that the student acquires an in-depth and specialized understanding of the main ecological processes, the issues related to the loss and management of Biodiversity, as well as its importance, including the interactions between the different components, biotic and abiotic, of the Ecosystems themselves. To this end, this Master offers a set of 6 Curricular Units of mandatory choice and 5 Curricular Units of flexible choice (Free Option I to V): this will allow for solid training in precise and essential tools for the analysis, management and conservation of biodiversity, namely experimental planning and ecological data analysis, not only of wild and urban biological resources, but also competences in science communication and learning outcomes; on the other hand, the flexibility of the study plan will allow each student to adapt their curriculum to their training interests, choosing areas such as bio-entrepreneurship or management or any other area offered to the 2nd cycle of studies by the University of Aveiro. The Curricular Unit Dissertation/Project/Internship will deal with an original theme in the area of ??applied ecology, at the student's choice, which may take the form of an internship in another external entity, namely companies, nationally or internationally, with whom the UA establishes collaboration protocols.

Landscape patterns and land use change are important components for understanding ecological processes affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services. As most political and economic drivers are expressed through human activities, having a landscape focus has recently been recognized as important to address many of our current environmental goals. Our education program builds on our research strengths in applied historical ecology, landscape analysis, and resource management, linking community ecology with restoration and management of both terrestrial and marine environments.

Would you like to answer ecological questions using molecular techniques? This unique master’s programme in Molecular Ecology will teach you how to do so while allowing you to combine ecology studies with molecular biology and bioinformatics. This new interdisciplinary field will provide you with several career opportunities.

The proposal of the Master in Techniques for Characterization and Conservation of Biological Diversity has as its fundamental objective to provide the necessary tools and techniques for the development of research and professional activities in the field of Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation.

In the Master’s Programme in Ecology, you study how ecological interactions, human impacts, evolutionary processes, and the abiotic environment shape food webs, biodiversity and the functioning and stability of ecological systems. The programme focuses on boreal and arctic regions. You learn how to identify ecological problems, plan and execute research, and analyse ecological and genetic data. You can also specialize and obtain a master’s degree with a profile in environmental protection.

During the two-year Master's program Ecology and Evolution you will gain insight into the living organism in relation to its environment. Ecology and evolution are strongly interdependent: without ecology, we cannot really understand natural selection; and without evolution, we cannot really understand the properties of organisms and their interaction with the environment. Ecology and evolution are relevant for all domains of the life sciences.
