PhD/iPhD Animal Ecology
Course Overview
This course investigates the profound effects of rapid environmental change���from climate shifts to pollution���on global biodiversity and health. Students will learn to predict these consequences through an integrated approach that combines molecular, individual, and ecosystem-level studies. The program emphasizes both experimental and field-based research, providing direct links to real-world conservation and public health challenges.
Key Program Highlights
- Integrated research spanning molecular processes to ecosystem dynamics
- Hands-on fieldwork at unique locations like the Loch Lomond field station (SCENE)
- Focus on pressing global issues including disease transmission and food security
- Collaborative projects with geographers, statisticians, and mathematicians
- Opportunity to achieve an integrated PhD (iPhD) exit award
