Evolution, Biodiversity and Conservation is a research-oriented master specialisation in biological sciences at Leiden University.
The world is a breeding ground for the most unusual and special organisms, varying from invertebrates to enormous trees in the rain forest, and, of course, our own species, man. Each of them has its own unique characteristics. This master specialisation deals with understanding, describing and maintaining this variation. Its broad scope offers many opportunities to pursue your own scientific interests, whether it is research on understanding the defense mechanisms of plants, examining marine biodiversity in the tropics, or revealing the consequences of introducing exotic animals and plants to mention just a few of the options. What are the processes that give rise to the enormous diversity in plant and animal forms? How can we explain how new life-forms emerge? What affects their distribution in space and time? This specialisation addresses these types of questions, empowered by the unique combination of biological institutes in Leiden: the Institute of Biology (Leiden University); the Institute of Environmental Sciences (Leiden University) and the Naturalis Biodiversity (incorporating the National Herbarium and the National Museum for Natural History Naturalis).
