About Freshwater And Marine Ecology Msc in Queen Mary University of London

Learn the skills needed to kick-start your career in this exciting and evolving field. This multifaceted programme balances ecological theory, conservation biology and evolutionary biology with practical application.

We aim to ground your studies in insightful practical training, so that you’re familiar with industry-standard equipment and practice. To establish these skills and more, you will have the choice of working on a sea turtle conservation project in Cape Verde or learning about ecological processes in the tropical rainforest in Borneo. You will also visit the Freshwater Biological Association’s River Laboratory on the River Frome in Dorset.

You’ll build empirical and analytical skills through our taught modules. You’ll study how ecological theory, used alongside population genetics and evolutionary theory, can be applied to understanding current ecological issues. You’ll critically analyse aspects of the Metabolic Theory of Ecology, body-size relationships, stable isotope analysis and delve into the informative area of DNA barcoding, while getting a firm grasp on the biogeochemistry and organismal physiology in an ever-evolving world.

We’ll also bring you face to face with the regulators, policies and their science base, as these potential employers (eg CEFAS, Defra, the Environment Agency, Natural England) will give lectures on topical issues.
