Master of Science [M.S] [Biological Sciences - Freshwater and Marine Biology] From University of Amsterdam

Aquatic ecosystems teem with organisms, ranging from tiny phytoplankton and zooplankton to coral, fish, and whales. Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems are also used as ?dumping grounds' for much of society's waste and are profoundly affected by global change. In the two-year track Freshwater & Marine Biology in the Master?s programme Biological Sciences you will immerse yourself in research ranging from tropical marine biology to the ecology of wetlands ecosystems.

Freshwater & Marine Biology at the UvA?is the study for you, if you

• have a solid background in biology
• are eager to expand your knowledge and skills in freshwater or marine ecosystems
• want to learn to address issues of global interest
• are looking for the freedom to compile your own programme
• want the advantages of a small-scale programme, where students and staff all know each other and you have the opportunity to become part of the national and international research network of the staff.?
