The two-year track Ecology and Evolution in the Master's programme Biological Sciences promotes understanding of the relationships between living organisms, the evolution of species and the function of ecosystems, in order to contribute to more sustainability on earth.

Here's why you want to study Ecology and Evolution (track) at the UvA

Biological research at the UvA is carried out at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) and the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS).
We aim to unravel how organisms and ecosystems function in all their complexity, and how they change because of natural processes and human influence.

Specialised tracks
There are four specialised study tracks, each with its own focus within the larger field of biology research, and one more general track.

Ecology and Evolution will suit you, if you...

  • Are looking for expert training to thoroughly understand how plant and animal species originate and together shape communities that inhabit the ecosystems on our planet.
  • Want to explore the options to improve and protect the earth's biodiversity.
  • Are interested in a wide choice of courses and internships in the Netherlands, Europe or anywhere in the world.
