Duration:	2 Years
Level:	Post Graduation
Type:	Degree
Eligibility:	Graduation

M.Sc. Environmental Biology or Master of Science in Environmental Biology is a postgraduate Biology course. M.Sc. Environmental Science focuses on the scientific study of the origins, functions, relationships, interactions, and natural history of living populations, communities, species, and ecosystems in relation to dynamic environmental processes. The course also includes instruction in biodiversity, molecular genetics and genomic evolution, mesoscale ecology, computational biology and modelling, conservation biology, local and global environmental change, and restoration ecology. In addition you can study animal behaviour from an ecological and evolutionary perspective. The duration of the Master degree is two years and it is career originating in nature that offers many career opportunities for the candidates after the completion of course.
