Overview
The Ecology and Climate Change study programme trains master’s-level ecologists who understand how climate change affects ecological processes. Nature management, environmental preservation, and species variety and distribution will also be taught to graduates. They will predict climate change-related environmental changes, identify ecological and climate change challenges, provide effective remedies, and design nature management and environmental preservation plans. Additionally, students will learn how to make creative and competitive judgements in the present economic environment, improve ecosystem adaption, and provide ecosystem services.
Career opportunities
Climate change, combined with growing environmental challenges in Europe and around the world, creates a distinct need for ecology and climate change management specialists who understand complex environmental processes and are capable of resolving ecological and climate change problems.
Graduates of the Ecology and Climate Change study programme can work as managers, specialists, advisors, or consultants in state, science, and research institutions, high technology and innovation, industry, research and development, and manufacturing firms, educational institutions, analysis, analytics, certification, and accreditation, and other fields that require knowledge of ecology and climate change.
Graduates may continue their studies at the PhD level at universities in Lithuania and other countries.
