Explore life from genes to ecosystems

Plants, animals and microbes, play key roles in the sustainability of life on Earth. The Master's programme Environmental Biology offers you the opportunity to explore different organisational levels of life – from genes, cells and organisms, to populations and entire ecosystems. 

In this programme, you study the fundamental life processes of plants, animals and microbes. The interdisciplinary course content also offers you the chance to examine ecology, biology and animal behavior from an evolutionary perspective.
