Overview
The Biology - Systematics and Evolution programme from University of Zurich offers an overview of generally applicable principles of population dynamics and relates specifically to plants, insects and birds.
Apart from comprehensive data acquisition in the field, a variety of methods are used such as biochemical typing, statistical analyses or computer-generated models to simulate processes that change populations.
Their ability to adapt technical procedures to specific scientific problems allows them to expand their problem solving skills.
The ability to work exactly and treat precious materials, instruments and organisms carefully is particularly important. Working with organisms requires students to apply their ethical responsibilities.
The master’s thesis, which is a research project within the master’s program, teaches students to conduct research independently as would be required for a dissertation.
Career options
