7 Free Master’s in Ecology in Europe


Ecology is the study of the relationship between organisms and their physical and biological environments, and as such plays a crucial role in areas as diverse as conservation biology, natural resource management and community health.


Tuition-free European countries like Germany and Norway offer international students the opportunity to earn a master's degree in Ecology, in English, irrespective of their country of origin, for free. International students can study for free and also get the opportunity to travel around Europe, learn a new language, and make some lifelong friends. It's amazing that this free education is extended even to non-EU students.





7) Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences---Master's in Applied Ecology


Human impacts such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, harvesting, biological control, the introduction of alien species, and discharge of environmental poisons or climatic gasses all contribute to changes in the environment.

6) Norwegian University of Life Sciences---MSc Ecology/MSc in Radioecology

With Master of Science in Ecology - Specialisation General Ecology you will be qualified for tasks related to environmental monitoring, research and education, sustainable forestry and agriculture, biological conservation, bioethics, journalism, and a range of technical professions.

Radioecology is a key research area ranging from nuclear sources to impact and risk assessment and radiation protection. In a diverse process you will gain knowledge about radioecology; behaviour of radionuclides in the environment, as well as impact and risk assessment based on radiochemistry and radiation protection, the nuclear industry and waste management, project management and research methods.

5) Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena---Master of Science Evolution, Ecology and Systematics


During the course, organisms are studied in their functional entirety using modern and innovative methods of investigation. Particular emphasis is placed on interaction with biotic and abiotic environments right up to complex ecosystem level. The programme is rooted in the classic subjects systematic zoology, systematic botany and ecology, with evolutionary biology serving as a connecting thread.

4) Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg---Ecology, Master of Science

The programme focuses on animal and plant ecology and also includes aspects of sociobiology and other topics of organismic biology. Further topics include constraints for plant growth and development (biogeography, biodiversity), the interactions of plants and animals with abiotic and biotic environmental factors (e.g. plant-insect, plant-fungus interactions) including the evolutionary adaptations at the physiological and organismic level, aspects of neurogenetics and behaviour as well as the interaction of individuals, social groups, and large populations in complex and variable ecosystems.

3) Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München---Master's Programme in Evolution, Ecology, and Systematics

As a student in the EES programme, you will take courses and conduct research in the fields of evolution, ecology, and systematics. We offer advanced courses in population biology, genetics, phylogenetics, population genetics, behavioural ecology, theoretical biology, molecular evolution, human evolution, botany, zoology, limnology, marine biology, and bioinformatics. You will have the opportunity to conduct several lab rotations in various labs, and you will participate in seminars and conferences.

2) University of Bremen---Master of Science in Ecology/Aquatic Tropical Ecology

ISATEC is an international postgraduate MSc study programme on tropical aquatic ecology at the University of Bremen in collaboration with the associated Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT). It aims at the joint education and specialisation of German and foreign postgraduate students in the field of tropical aquatic ecology.

The Master of Ecology at the University of Bremen is a programme for European and non-European students with a strong background in biology, ecology or a related subject. During the programme, you will become familiar with many techniques and approaches including field and laboratory based experiments, analysis of animal behaviour, mathematical modelling, sustainability research, advanced statistics, and modern genetic tools and methods.

1) University of Bayreuth---Global Change Ecology (MSc)

The programme is devoted to understanding and analysing the most important and consequential environmental concern of the 21st century - global change. Problems of an entirely new and interdisciplinary nature require the establishment of innovative approaches in research and education. A special focus of the programme is the linking of natural science perspectives on global change with approaches in social science disciplines.
