Course Objective

Second year specialisation/exchange programme within IMABEE consortium: IMABEE is a two-year research-oriented master programme for talented and motivated students who are interested in understanding biodiversity, ecology and evolution in all their facets. It is a joint programme between European universities (University of Rennes1, France; Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands; University of Göttingen, Germany). Students start their first year at their Home University (one of the universities within the consortium). In the second year, selected students choose a partner university within the consortium (i.e. Host University). On completion of the programme, students are awarded a double degree, one from the Home University and one from the Host University.
