Course Overview
The MSc in Conservation Biology (MBC-UÉ) prepares professionals with advanced and integrated technical-scientific knowledge of relevant issues in the management and conservation of biological resources.
Considering that its vacancies are filled at a rate of 90 per cent (20 editions), this corresponds to a success rate (number of students who obtain the degree / number of students who wanted to obtain it) of around 80 per cent. These results are an indicator of the success of the MBC-UÉ, which offers the possibility of Erasmus+ mobility programmes.
The MBC-UÉ has contributed to the training of students from various European countries, South America, Africa and Asia, and its internationalisation has been increasing steadily.
