Specialization branch offered at Coimbra (PT) during the second year

The EMAE programme at University of Coimbra is focused on training students in the areas of environmental quality evaluation and ecotoxicology, embracing terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. We promote interdisciplinary training, providing students with knowledge and skills on environmental monitoring and ecological risk assessment, closely linked to ecosystems management. The competences acquired allow students to integrate a PhD programme or a direct access to environmental consulting related employment.

"Prelaying period in cory's shearwater: Foraging ecology and behavior"
