MSc Evolutionary and Population Biology
Programme information was correct at 23 July 2013.
Programme
Qualifications and durations
- Full-time MSc 1 year
Overview
An MSc programme offers masters level training and a higher degree qualification. Three categories of applicants in particular are suitable for these programmes:
- those whose first degree did not take them to the highest level and/or who may have had little or no practical research experience
- those who wish to specialise further beyond their first degree in the named specialisation but do not foresee a research degree as the natural progression after graduating from this programme
- those who have graduated in a different but related area of the biosciences but now wish to change directions and emerge as specialists in a new area.
If these do not apply, you might consider an MRes programme.
This programme covers the origins and appearance of organisms and their genes as well as their interactions within the environment. It includes not only theoretical and experimental studies of evolutionary biology within the laboratory studying genes, genomes and phylogeny but also field work and applications to real problems, biodiversity and conservation science.
Available 6-credit units include:
- Concepts in evolution
- Field course
- Behaviour & ecology
- Evolution in deep time
- Sexual conflict
- Conservation biology
- The evolution of genetic systems
- Molecular evolution and phylogenetic
