The Master’s Degree in Biodiversity, Conservation, and Environmental Quality provides advanced training in environmental biology, emphasizing biodiversity from the molecular level to entire ecosystems. The program is designed to equip students with the methodological and cultural foundations required for biodiversity conservation and environmental quality assessment. Graduates are expected to possess a strong understanding of the scientific method, particularly techniques for acquiring and analyzing biodiversity data, and to demonstrate the ability to work independently with a high degree of autonomy.

The program is organized into two interconnected areas of study: Biodiversity and Environment and Biomolecular approaches for Biodiversity.

The Biodiversity and Environment area covers the scientific principles of environmental biology, focusing on the analysis of animal, plant, fungi and microbial biodiversity. Students acquire in-depth knowledge of biodiversity monitoring and management, including its legal and ecological implications, as well as skills to assess and conserve biotic components in both natural and artificial ecosystems.

The Biomolecular approaches for Biodiversity area advances the understanding of biological diversity at morphological, genomic, and molecular levels. It provides students with a strong methodological and cultural foundation in biomolecular, bioinformatics, and biostatistics research applied to biodiversity and environmental biology.
