Objectives : to train high level scientists in relation to modern questions of
environmental biology in a broad sense, to develop an expertise to address
diverse problems of global changes.
Key words : environment, sustainable development, conservation,
biodiversity, ecology, evolution, ecotoxicology, climate change, marine
biology,
aquatic
ecology,
terrestrial
ecology,
food
crisis,…
Career opportunities : research, management, expertise, services,
entrepreneurship, teaching,…
Some features :
Since 2007-2008
Co-organised UCL/UNamur
Between 20 and 35 students per year
Several Departments and Faculties
(ILEE, URBE, BIOL, AGRO, Sciences,…)
4 months internship in M2
Long research experience :
thesis of 10 months
3 finalities : « approfondie,
spécialisée, didactique »
Modern techniques of molecular biology
• Comparative biology : focused on many different species
• Integrative biology : all biological levels are integrated (from genes to
ecosystems)
• Evolutionary biology : different timescale evolutionary perspectives
