Biodiversity, Evolution and Conservation MRes

UCL (University College London)

UCL has joined together with the Natural History Museum and the Institute of Zoology to deliver a pioneering course. This intensive MRes allows you to harness the different research capabilities of these three leading biodiversity research institutions. The Biodiversity, Evolution & Conservation MRes gives you an unrivalled opportunity to build your understanding and research skills by working alongside many of the world’s finest biodiversity and conservation research scientists. At the Natural History Museum, you’ll benefit from their world-leading expertise in taxonomy and phylogenetics. Guided by your research supervisor, you’ll learn to use genetics and evolutionary diversification expertise for more effective preservation of diversity. Whilst at the Institute of Zoology, you’ll experience first-hand what it’s like to work in a world-leading conservation research facility, with access to extensive zoo collections and field conservation programmes. For the taught modules, you’ll absorb the perspectives of UCL’s celebrated genetics and biology academics, enjoying guest lectures from famous scientists and expert communicators such as Dr Adam Rutherford. The Biodiversity, Evolution & Conservation MRes is for graduates seeking a broad foundation for a career based around biodiversity, including conservation biology, with a strong emphasis on both pure and applied research.
