生态学和进化生物学整合了从遗传学到生态系统科学等一系列令人兴奋的学科的知识。它试图回答有关地球生命史及其对现代物种的分布，丰度和生态相互作用的影响的问题。在本专业中，您将学习如何创造性地和道德地解决复杂的科学问题，如何在工业和研究项目中进行合作，以及如何将生物多样性的模式与时空范围内的生物，生态和进化过程联系起来。而且，由于您具有研究和评估历史发展并将您的发现传达给潜在雇主的能力，您的职业前景将会飞涨。
Ecology and evolutionary biology integrates knowledge from a range of exciting disciplines – from genetics to ecosystem science. It seeks to answer questions about the history of life on earth and its influence on the distributions, abundances and ecological interactions of modern-day species. In this specialisation, you'll learn how to creatively and ethically solve complex scientific problems, work collaboratively on industry and research projects, and relate patterns of biodiversity to biological, ecological and evolutionary processes over a range of temporal and spatial scales. And your career prospects will soar – thanks to your ability to research and evaluate historical developments and communicate your findings to prospective employers.
