Combination of in-depth training and the opportunity to design a tailor-made programme in ecology and evolution Many opportunities to conduct fieldwork in diverse environments (on all five continents), including the nearby Wadden Sea (on the UNESCO World Heritage list), the tropics, and the arctic regions. Students form collaborative cohorts and frequently interact with their supervisors & teachers Coaching by personal mentor Broad spectrum of research projects, tailored to the individual preferences of the student, ranging from microbes to whales, and from molecules to ecosystems. Research can be conducted in the field or in the lab and theoretically as well as experimentally. Our faculty is the home of the 2016 Nobel laureate in Chemistry, Ben Feringa, and GELIFES is the home of the 2014 Spinoza Prize winner, Theunis Piersma.
