Living Planet with Computational Methods in Ecology and Evolution MRes

This course is for students who wish to be trained in cutting-edge quantitative techniques in ecology and evolution with applications to wide range of real-world problems, including ecosystem-based solutions for industrial bioprocessing and production, improving food production in agroecosystems, nature-based carbon capture, and biodiversity conservation.<br/><br/>Gain cutting-edge quantitative techniques in ecology and evolution with applications to wide range of real-world problems.<br/><br/>Quantitative skills are a critical limiting factor in modern biology, including the fields of ecology, evolution, behaviour and conservation.<br/><br/>Learn those skills in application to important biological problems at one of the worlds leading institutions for quantitative biology.<br/><br/>Along with coursework on cutting edge topics in quantitative ecology and evolution, you’ll will carry out an extended piece of independent research across over an 8-month project, where you will apply your growing range of skills and advance your project management skills.<br/><br/>MRes Living Planet programme<br/>Our MRes Living Planet course will equip you to tackle the great environmental challenges facing the world, providing training on the transferrable research skills you’ll need to develop science-based understanding and interventions.
