M.RES (Master in Research) OPPURTUNITY

If you are passionate about research and want to contribute new knowledge about global change, then the EBI/School of Geography MRes in Global Change and the Biosphere may be the course for you.

We offer the opportunity to work alongside leading researchers as part of an active group of some 25 global change scientists and doctoral students, led by Professors Jon Lloyd (plant physiology-biosphere interactions), Oliver Phillips (tropical forest dynamics) and Chronis Tzedakis (Quaternary palaeoecology). For example, if you are curious about the impacts of deforestation/warming on earth's forests , or want to understand how paleoclimates have influenced current terrestrial biomes , this course would let you pursue research into such critical climate change questions.

The one-year programme involves a mix of subject-based learning, skills training, and extensive research experience. Its aim is to help you onto the first step of a career in global change research.

Entry requirements : Normally an upper second class Honours degree or equivalent in any scientific discipline. Competitive scholarships are available. For more information on how to apply,Follow this link
