Biology
专业介绍
Are you fascinated by the diversity of life and the complexities of the natural world? The Master’s degree programme (MSc) in Biology at Aarhus University offers in-depth and high-level understanding of the funda-mental principles of nature – from the smallest molecular interactions to the dynamics of entire ecosystems.
The MSc in Biology builds on the department’s strong research expertise in:
- Freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecology
- Comparative physiology
- Microbiology
- Evolutionary biology and genomics
The programme is highly flexible and research-oriented allowing you to tailor your MSc according to your specific interests. As a student, you will become an integrated part of vibrant research environments, working alongside internationally recognised scientists.
You can pursue your passion for biodiversity or your curiosity for the complex ways with which living organ-isms function and interact with their environment. You can learn from world experts on species groups from across the tree of life and a range of ecosystems. While following your interests, you will gain expert knowledge and obtain the tools needed to address some of the most pressing challenges facing modern society relating to biodiversity loss, climate change and human health.
The programme provides you with a strong theoretical foundation and the possibility for extensive practical experience. Through research projects, laboratory work, and field trips you can work directly on a variety of problems such as nature restoration and conservation, how climate change impacts Arctic ecosystems, physiological mechanisms driving animal behaviour, the role of microorganisms in global element cycles – the list is long. You will also acquire analytical skills with broad value in the job market. These include analytical tools in bioacoustics, use and development of satellite- and drone-based remote sensing technologies, analytical genomics and bioinformatics, eDNA-analysis and advanced chemical sensors, to name but a few.
At Aarhus University, the Biology programme is known for its exceptionally active and welcoming student community, offering international students the ideal setting to thrive both academically and socially. With a strong emphasis on applying knowledge and developing innovative solutions, the programme is perfectly suited for the curious and ambitious student who is motivated by Biology’s key role in addressing global challenges.
