Program Description

Master’s program in Molecular Ecology will teach you how to do so while allowing you to combine ecology studies with molecular biology, bioinformatics and systems biology. This new interdisciplinary field will provide you with several career opportunities.

Molecular ecology combines ecological data with molecular biological techniques to address ecological topics such as:

  • discover and characterize new species
  • measure the relationship between species and populations
  • track environmental toxins and diseases in different ecosystems
  • identify invasive species
  • identify genetic diversity within endangered species to develop conservation strategies

Molecular ecology is an interdisciplinary master’s programme that combines the fields of ecology, molecular biology and bioinformatics. At the University of Skövde, we offer you a two-year master’s programme in Molecular ecology, where fieldwork as well as advanced laboratory and computer-based techniques are prominent parts of the studies.
