Biodiversity and Environmental Protection
The Master’s Degree in Biodiversity and Environmental Protection at Roma Tre University provides advanced scientific training at the intersection of biology and ecology. The programme focuses on the study of biodiversity, ecosystem function, and the evolutionary dynamics of species and environments. It is designed to equip students with the tools to collect, analyse, and interpret ecological data for the sustainable management of natural resources. Core modules are complemented by fieldwork, laboratory experience, elective courses, and an experimental research thesis that accounts for one third of the degree workload.
The curriculum prepares students to address contemporary challenges in biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable development. Graduates develop advanced competencies in species and habitat monitoring, environmental policy, and scientific communication. Training includes the use of statistical and modelling tools, field sampling techniques, and interdisciplinary research methodologies. Students engage with European environmental frameworks and are encouraged to propose real-world conservation strategies as part of their academic work.
Career opportunities are available in research institutions, environmental consultancies, public agencies, museums, and non-governmental organisations. Graduates are qualified to work in fields such as ecological monitoring, habitat restoration, environmental education, and the management of natural and cultural heritage. The degree also provides access to doctoral programmes in biology and environmental science. Admission requires a relevant undergraduate qualification and English language proficiency at B2 level. The final assessment consists of a research thesis presented and defended before an academic panel.
