Course Summary

Studying for an MA or MSc by Research can be an excellent opportunity to develop your intellectual skills and your academic interest in a particular field. The Masters by Research is a 12 month research project (24 months part-time). It is distinct from our taught Masters programmes and involves planning, implementing and writing up a research project. You will be supervised by two members of academic staff and will be encouraged to submit your work for publication at the end of the course.Our group studies the response of ecological systems at the level of individual genes, individual organisms, populations, and communities, up to whole food webs and functional processes such as decomposition and whole-ecosystem metabolism. We have particular strengths in the ecology of freshwater invertebrates but also have expertise with algal communities, microbes (fungi, bacteria) and fish. Freshwaters are particularly diverse systems, containing a disproportionately high level of biodiversity compared with the area of Earth's surface covered by rivers, lakes and ponds. We study these groups because they are also disproportionately at risk of damage through land use change (such as agriculture, forestry or urbanisation) as well as extreme events (floods, droughts, wildfire) and ongoing climate change. Conversely, they can be used as indicators of the effects of stressors such as pollution, or to track recovery of ecosystems following interventions such as ecosystem restoration.
