16 Master's degrees in Ecology in Netherlands

The Master in Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences at Utrecht University is research oriented and takes a multidisciplinary approach to study molecules related to health and disease in cells and organisms.

In the Master’s Programme in Earth System Science (Earth Sciences) at the University of Amsterdam, you will investigate the interplay between earth surface processes, such as erosion, river dynamics, and ecosystems. You also will have the opportunity to explore the impact of human activities, including mining, deforestation, and the effects of nature-based solutions.

Our planet needs urgent solutions to challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, and other environmental threats. Sustainability is key to tackling those global challenges, and this is where Industrial Ecology (IE) comes in.

The General Biology (Biological Sciences) programme from the University of Amsterdam is designed for students who do not wish to restrict their focus to one subject in the field of biology. Your study may cover topics such as the molecular mechanisms of a virus or the population dynamics of African elephants.

The Ecology Futures, M.A. course from Avans University of Applied Sciences focuses on how bioart and biodesign can create alternative futures. In which present-day ecological concerns are addressed.

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.

The Green Life Sciences (Biological Sciences) programme from the University of Amsterdam is a research-oriented programme that focuses on the interaction of plants with their abiotic and biotic environment. You will study fundamental and applied aspects of molecular biology, cell biology, chemical ecology, physiology, biotechnology, plant breeding, phytopathology and the plant microbiome.

The two-year Ecology and Evolution (Biological Sciences) programme from University of Amsterdam offers you the chance to delve into how species evolve, interact, and shape the ecosystems around us. You’ll gain expert knowledge and practical research experience, all while enjoying exceptional flexibility to tailor your studies to your interests.

During the Data Science for Life Sciences course from Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen, you will work on real-world projects that address societal and organisational challenges. 

The Industrial Ecology of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) offers talented students from around the world the opportunity to enhance their expertise and work on current challenges faced by the world today. 

How do organisms and their environment interact at both a molecular level and a global level? Join Ecology and Evolution MSc programme offered at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and learn about it.

The Biodiversity and Sustainability master specialisation aims to discuss and answer societal relevant biological questions. The critical importance of biodiversity and the services provided by nature for our society is increasingly endorsed by national and international conventions.

How do organisms and their environment interact at both a molecular level and a global level? If this is an area that interests you, and you want to make a contribution to science and sustainability, the Ecology and Evolution (Joint Degree 3 Universities) - Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution course at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is for you.

This Ecology and Evolution degree programme at University of Groningen has a selection procedure.

In this Ecology and Evolution programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam you will follow five courses in the first semester, encompassing in principle 30 EC. Your previous education will determine the exact content of your individual programme.

How do organisms and their environment interact at both a molecular level and a global level? If this is an area that interests you, and you want to make a contribution to science and sustainability, the Ecology and Evolution (Joint Programme UvA-VU) - Ecology and Evolution course at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is for you.
