| Description | The new M.Sc. in Bioenvironmental Monitoring and Assessment is designed to prepare its graduates for future employment in the fields of bioenvironmental monitoring, population assessment, wildlife management, and conservation biology. Many of today's pressing environmental questions can be addressed either through robust analysis of existing ecological datasets or by conducting original research using especially novel and innovative approaches.
This graduate program is designed to train students to answer questions strategically and efficiently, using state-of-the-art data collection and analytical tools in landscape genetics, population viability and trend analysis, environmental genomics, ecological stoichiometry, and nutrient cycling assessment. The program is thesis-based and is differentiated from traditional MSc programs by stressing how and why our environment is changing. It includes a required experiential learning component through placement with a non-academic partner, and mandatory professional skills workshops on topics of particular relevance to job training. MSc graduates will be well-positioned for employment in a variety of bioenvironmental sectors including in government, NGOs or industry. | | |
