Description:

Explore the key concepts of ecology and learn how organisms behave, evolve and interact with their physical and biological environments. You will study with world-leading researchers from the Schools of Biological Sciences, Environmental Sciences and across the Norwich Research Park.

You will learn through lectures, seminars and workshops geared towards helping you understand the theory and concepts behind evolution, behaviour, ecological services, processes and conservation. You will spend time in the laboratory, developing techniques to explore ecology, from microbes and parasites to model organisms. You will also learn through field work. Here you will perfect practical field skills and survey techniques. You will learn how to design a scientific question, complete field projects and be confident in the natural environment. You could join one of our residential field trips to Europe or further afield in a sub-tropical climate (currently Kenya and/or Swaziland). And you will take your learning to the next level by developing your own unique, independent research, working with a member of staff to understand a system using the latest scientific techniques.
