The progress of all master's candidates is monitored biannually by the supervisor and the postgraduate coordinator. A candidate's study may be terminated if the progress is unsatisfactory or if the candidate is unable to finish his/her studies during the prescribed period.

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.

Study our masters in Zoo Conservation Biology and you can play your part too, as you develop expertise in the science which underpins the management and maintenance of captive populations, and explore the links with species conservation on a worldwide scale.

The MSc in Marine Mammal Science prepares students for professional careers in the research and conservation of marine mammals. It is the only research-focused MSc degree in this popular subject worldwide and is taught by leading experts at the Sea Mammal Research Unit and the Scottish Oceans Institute.

The Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences is a diverse faculty with 13 departments that is supported by more than 20 centres and institutes. More than 5 000 students register in this faculty annually of which 70% are undergraduate and 30% postgraduate students.

The progress of all master's candidates is monitored biannually by the supervisor and the postgraduate coordinator. A candidate's study may be terminated if the progress is unsatisfactory or if the candidate is unable to finish his/her studies during the prescribed period.

Subject to program-specific requirements, the curriculum for the MScAgric degree consists of the following:

The Postgraduate Program in Biological Sciences (Zoology): Animal Behavior and Biology and the Postgraduate Program in Ecology have joined together and are now the GRADUATION POST PROGRAM IN BIODIVERSITY AND NATURE CONSERVATION at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora! Click here to be directed to the new site. PGECOL presents itself in the context of CAPES 'Ecology and Environment area, now the Biodiversity macro area, as a master's course started in 2005 and already consolidated (its hundredth dissertation was defended in 2014) and a doctoral course started in 2011 in the evident consolidation process. PGECOL is aware of its mission to train professionals capable of working in the solution of problems, conceptual and applied, concerning Environmental Sciences.

Biology MSc course trains the researchers of the future in the fields of genetics, plant biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and zoology.

Wild animal health has become increasingly popular among non-veterinarians with a first degree in zoology and biology. Recognising this, the RVC, University of London, together with the Zoological Society of London, has developed a unique course aimed at non-veterinary biological science graduates and leading to the MSc in Wild Animal Biology.

The graduate program in biology provides you with flexibility to pursue advanced study in such areas as biology, botany, conservation biology, ecology, fisheries biology, microbiology, rangeland biology, wildlife biology, and zoology.

The MSc in Animal Husbandry Engineering is designed to develop your undergraduate knowledge and improve it through application and research.

The aim of the Master's Degree in Zootechnical Engineering is to enable students who, supported by a solid background in mathematics, chemistry, physics and animal biological systems, to develop advanced skills in design, design, technical direction, management, assessment, , teaching and scientific research in the various strands / disciplines of intensive and non-intensive animal production and their integrated approach to the basic processes of transformation and quality control of animal products and breeding animals for leisure and company purposes.

Within the Entomology graduate program area, a student can select training from a wide range of courses and research programs to prepare for a career in any of the many professional entomology areas, including research, teaching, industry, and extension work.
