This interdisciplinary MSc programme is for students who are passionate about early life, mass extinctions, macroevolution, climate change and fossil preservation. It bridges the biology-geology divide. You will learn the latest techniques in phylogenetics, biomechanics and macroevolution, providing you with a strong foundation for independent research to PhD level or for a career in museum curation, science education, science policy, management or the media.
Bristol is ranked #2 in the UK for ‘Earth systems and environmental sciences’ research (THE analysis of REF 2021) and #1 in the world for Palaeontology (Center for World University Rankings 2017). You will join Bristol’s established palaeobiology research group and engage in current debates in evolution, systematics and palaeobiology. You will learn how to analyse problems quantitatively and design experimental approaches to resolving questions in macroevolution and the study of both ancient and living organisms.
An upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in Geology, Biological Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Archaeology, Anthropology or a related discipline. Applicants with a lower class of degree with relevant work experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
