Overview

Biology is a broad discipline spanning everything from molecules to ecosystems. The programme builds on your bachelor’s background and develops your skills in experimental work, field methods, data analysis, and scientific reasoning. You tailor your studies through courses across three main areas:

Ecophysiology

Biodiversity and Evolution
Ecology

As a Biology - Flexible Work-Integrated programme from Aarhus University student, you will have rich opportunities for fieldwork and hands-on research—whether at Danish field stations, in the Arctic, or on the research vessel Aurora. You learn in a collaborative and informal research environment and can contribute to ongoing projects within the department’s active academic community.

Career

Graduates from the work-integrated MSc in Biology combine academic depth with hands-on industry experience. Many students are offered full-time employment at their workplace after graduation, while others go on to research careers or PhD studies. You will be qualified for roles within research and development, environmental management, consultancy, biotechnology, fisheries, agriculture, conservation, and science communication. Career opportunities exist in both public and private organisations in Denmark and internationally, and many graduates choose to continue into PhD programmes.

Programme Structure

Your individual study plan in the work-integrated Master’s degree programme is arranged in collaboration with a lecturer and consists of courses you select from the course catalogue. This allows you to focus on the areas that particularly interest you and that are relevant to your professional field within your workplace.
