Learning Goals

The focus is on the teaching directly linked to research on biodiversity and nature conservation, which is carried out in some laboratories/scientific research groups. This allows an effective exchange of experiences and knowledge, which combines a highly qualified training in techniques, methods or models.

This postgraduate course has an exceptional feature, whether by is very specialized contents or because there is no fixed planning lectures on Biodiversity and Nature Conservation. Each advanced course depends on the favourable conditions each year (scientific meetings, scientific cooperation agreements, large projects research, free courses, visitors or invited researchers, etc.).

Teaching Methods

Structured lectures with expository component supported by audiovisual media and online resources. Discussion of scientific papers and other reports. Application of software models. Working group on a scientific-technical report about a chosen theme.
