Conservation and Restoration Ecology Radboud University

Overview

In this Master's specialisation, you will learn to unravel ecosystem dynamics in order to contribute to species protection and nature restoration. You’ll get insight in the relations between different communities and how they react to environmental stress. Within your two internships, you can choose to focus on fundamental or applied research. Some students choose to perform research at the leading Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences (RIBES), while others rather work at a company, water authority or NGO. How do you want to make your contribution to nature? 

After graduation, our students quickly take up positions as researchers in universities, research institutes, government departments or companies. And – often after obtaining their PhD degree – they also apply their academic background to societal issues, for example as a communications or policy officer.
