Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation

During the lifetime of MarBEF the idea arose of establishing a specialised Master’s programme, the Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (EMBC).

Participation institutes

The course involves six European universities (Ghent University (Belgium), which coordinates the whole programme; University of Bremen (Germany); University of the Algarve (Portugal); University Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 006 (France); University of Oviedo (Spain), and University of Klaipèda (Lithuania)). In addition to these six universities which already have close relations with MarBEF, it was decided to also include the other MarBEF institutes, where possible, in the programme. In this way, research and education can go hand in hand. MarBEF institutes can, for example, offer thesis subjects, offer summer schools and take part in specialised courses. European Union funding has also facilitated the participation of students from outside the Europe Union.
