Embark on the MSci Evolutionary Biology at the University of Exeter, a programme designed for those fascinated by the intricate processes that have shaped life on Earth and continue to drive its future. In an era where understanding adaptation, biodiversity, and the impact of environmental change is critical, this degree equips you with the scientific knowledge and practical skills to address these global challenges. You will explore the fundamental principles of evolutionary ecology, genetics, and behaviour, preparing you for a dynamic field that is essential for conservation, medicine, and understanding our place in the natural world.
This full-time, four-year undergraduate degree is studied on campus, immersing you in a vibrant academic community. You will develop your expertise through lectures, laboratory work, and extensive fieldwork, including compulsory international and UK-based field courses that offer hands-on experience in diverse ecosystems. In your final year, you will undertake a significant independent research project, collaborating closely with leading academics. You will graduate with a deep understanding of evolutionary biology and advanced analytical skills, ready for postgraduate study or careers in conservation, research, ecological consultancy, and beyond.
