Overview
In this Conservation and Restoration Ecology specialisation at Radboud University , you will learn to unravel ecosystem dynamics in order to contribute to species protection and nature restoration. 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?
Future career opportunities
After graduation, our students quickly take up positions as researchers in universities, research institutes, government departments or companies. And – often after obtaining their PhD degree – they also apply their academic background to societal issues, for example as a communications or policy officer.
