What will I learn?

The Master of Science (M.S.) program is designed to give the candidates a strong background in fundamental science by coursework and in-depth study of a specific research problem. A candidate for the degree of Master of Science shall pursue a course of research under the direct supervision of academic staff in the Faculty. Must present a thesis on a topic related to his field of study which shall embody the results of original research and must give evidence of a high level of scholarship.

Research in the field of Ecology involves holistic studies to observe interactions among individuals/species with other existing biotic components as well as biotic factors. Furthermore, this field of study utilises transdiciplinary approaches where by research in this area is integrated with other branches of Biology and other science fields (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) in order to explain the findings. Basically, the strength of Ecology as a research field is based on studies in marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. Among the core sub-research areas are ecotoxicology, coastal geochemistry, tropical forest ecology, terminology, mycology, physiology, ichthyology, epidemiology, marine benthic ecology, wildlife ecology, sea grass ecology, malacology, entomology, parasitological, limnology and oceanography. All research is conducted either in the field, the laboratory, or both. Use of high precision analytical equipments such as AAS, GC, GC-MS, HPLC, high resolution camera microscopes and others further aids researchers in retrieving solid and precise evidence related to their research.
