The course in brief Presentation Marine Biology and Ecology (Video BEM) Marine Biology and Ecology (Video BEM TikTok) Learning by doing The course includes: Lectures for a large number of basic as well as highly professional teachings Laboratories, classroom exercises and field activities to provide practical tools to apply what has been learned in the classroom The possibility of internships for a thesis at numerous DISTAV research laboratories, and also at affiliated institutions and companies Seminars held by teachers and experts in the sector Teaching in scientific English to improve one's skills in understanding and writing a scientific text A multidisciplinary research experience in the field (Marine Biology and Ecology Campaign) Career opportunities A graduate in Marine Biology and Ecology can work independently in all sectors that involve the study, management, monitoring, and conservation of marine biodiversity (at all levels of complexity) and marine ecosystems in relation to abiotic forces and human activities. The graduate can continue the studies with a PhD and register with the Professional Register of Biologists, Section A, to carry out activities that also involve the use of advanced methodologies. The companies and public or private bodies in which the graduate can be employed include Marine Protected Areas, environmental protection agencies, coastal parks, ministries and non-governmental agencies, research laboratories, coastal environment monitoring companies, industries in the sector, cooperatives for the management of fishing and aquaculture, educational institutions and environmental education and dissemination bodies. Did you know that... You will be able to carry out technical-practical internships at Ligurian Marine Protected Areas, CNR-ISMAR and the Genoa Aquarium, and also at numerous research facilities at DISTAV You will deepen your knowledge in the field of systematics, diversity and biology of marine organisms with a look at their adaptations in all marine ecosystems You will study the latest findings in molecular biology and their applications in the marine field (Blue Technologies) You will acquire professional skills in ecotoxicology, monitoring, GIS, statistics, restoration and environmental sustainability. Contents Graduate in Marine Biology and Ecology in Genoa The Master's Degree in Marine Biology and Ecology in Genoa is based on a multidisciplinary department with a strong territorial connection that has a historical dedication to studying marine sciences. The Degree was born from the need to train highly qualified and specialised figures, capable of addressing the consequences that climate change and human activities have on marine biodiversity and the integrity of marine habitats with a multidisciplinary approach that integrates biological and ecological-managerial fields. Training course The aim of the course in Marine Biology and Ecology is to train specialists in the field of study, management, monitoring and conservation of biodiversity and marine ecosystems, also in relation to the commercial use of resources (such as food and health). Particular emphasis is given to the study of marine biodiversity, in all its dimensional components, in all environments and in its historical and relational development. The applicative aspects of marine biology are also widely covered (including Blue Technologies, statistics and regulatory aspects), to develop design skills in monitoring, management and conservation of marine ecosystems, as well as skills related to the management of aquaculture plants, aquariums and Marine Protected Areas. Coordinator Image Welcome to the Master's degree programme in Marine Biology and Ecology. With us, you will address issues related to marine biodiversity and marine ecosystems using a multidisciplinary approach that combines biological and ecological management fields. You will acquire a strong professionalism, enabling you to carry out highly qualified activities in marine biology in line with both local needs and European directives.
