Learning Goals
Aims:
Put the student abroad in mobility (ex. ERASMUS +) in order to be able to train and learn biological
knowledge whether from theoretical, laboratory or field work ways or in course units (CU) taught in other
MSc plans (but related with Conservation Biology ) as well as training activities recognised by the course
commission (CCs).
Skills:
The student should understand the ecological dynamics or learn sampling techniques or use specialised
tools of analysis applicable to Biological Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Ecology and Sciences of
Landscape and Planning, developing critical thinking for their functioning. Gain some practical European
language skills in an international context. Strengthen the spirit of scientific curiosity.
