Master Biodiversite, Ecologie Et Evolution — Mer, anthropisation, Diagnostic

The Master Biodiversite, Ecologie Et Evolution — Mer, anthropisation, Diagnostic is a two-year master's degree taught in French at Université d'Angers in Angers, France. This specialisation situates the broader field of biodiversity, ecology, and evolution within marine and coastal environments, focusing on how human activity, or anthropisation, affects seas and coastlines and how scientists diagnose the resulting ecological changes. Students in this kind of programme typically study marine ecology, coastal and marine biodiversity, the impact of pollution, fishing, and coastal development on ecosystems, and the methods used to monitor, sample, and assess the health of marine environments. Coursework generally combines classroom study of marine biology and ecosystem processes with fieldwork such as coastal surveys and sampling campaigns, as well as training in environmental diagnostic techniques and data analysis relevant to marine and coastal management. Students often work on applied projects addressing specific ecological problems in marine or coastal settings, sometimes in partnership with environmental agencies, conservation bodies, or research institutions, alongside completing a research dissertation. This orientation prepares students to evaluate the state of marine ecosystems and propose or support management responses to human pressures on coastal environments. Graduates typically pursue careers as marine or coastal ecologists, environmental consultants specialising in marine issues, researchers, or professionals working within conservation agencies, maritime administration, or environmental monitoring organisations. The programme spans two years, starts in September, and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Since teaching is delivered in French, applicants need a solid command of the language to follow coursework and fieldwork throughout the degree.
