Conservation and Restoration Ecology

Focus on the relationships between different communities within an ecosystem. Find out how they respond to environmental stress and unravel ecosystem dynamics. Use these insights to contribute to nature conservation and restoration.

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?
