About Ecology, Evolution And Biodiversity Msc in The University of Edinburgh

Our environments are changing at an unprecedented rate, from urban expansion to climate change and ocean acidification, placing a major stress on biodiversity. Addressing the challenges arising from global change will require that the next generation of biologists has expertise in critically evaluating and applying state of the art quantitative ecological and evolutionary methods to real world problems. This includes the ability to communicate science and its policy-implications to diverse stakeholders, from scientists to government.

The University of Edinburgh has exceptional strength and breadth in ecology, evolution and biodiversity, including the Centre for Adapting to Changing Environments.

The courses will draw on expertise across a diversity of organisms and ecosystems to provide students with opportunities to examine the biotic impacts of anthropogenic change and have a strong practical element. Students will be assessed through a combination of a project report, coursework (grant proposal, meta-analysis report), presentations and exams.

We live in a period of exceptional rates of environmental change, including climate change, urban expansion, the spread of invasive species, and ocean acidification. These changes present an unprecedented challenge to biodiversity.

This MSc is designed to equip you to play a key role in developing solutions to this global change crisis. The programme will provide you with opportunities to critically evaluate and apply state of the art quantitative ecological and evolutionary methods, combined with practical field skills, and to tailor communications for a diversity of audiences, from scientists to government.

You will be based in the School of Biological Sciences, which ranked in the top 5 for the UK for research power (REF 2022). The School is part of the new Centre for Adapting to Changing Environments, composed of over 100 research groups.

Courses will draw on a breadth of case studies across different ecosystems, from long-term vertebrate studies to marine microbes. There will be an emphasis on practice, including fieldwork, statistics, and coding.
