How do organisms and their environment interact at both a molecular level and a global level?
If this is an area that interests you, and you want to make a contribution to science and sustainability, a Master's programme in Ecology at VU Amsterdam is for you.
You'll study ecology from a plant, animal, fungal, bacterial and systems perspective. You'll also explore ecological and evolutionary processes at a molecular level and on a regional and global scale. In addition, you'll carry out field observations and experiments to identify evolutionary and/or ecosystem patterns and functions.

The Ecology programme is open to both Dutch and international students. The Faculty's Admission Board will decide upon your admission after having evaluated your complete online application.
In order to gain admission to the Ecology Master's programme, you will need to have at least a Bachelor's degree from an accredited research university including at least three full years of academic study amounting to a minimum of 180 ECTS or equivalent. We do not require a GRE or GMAT test score. A Bachelo's degree obtained at an applied university or higher vocational education (HBO in Dutch) in most cases does not grant direct access to the programme (only exceptionally high ranking students stand a chance of admission).
