NMBU · Master, 2-årig
Opptaksreglene endres fra 2027: tilleggspoeng for høyere utdanning, fremmedspråk, kjønn og folkehøgskole fjernes. Historiske poenggrenser er derfor ikke direkte sammenlignbare med framtidige opptak.
Noen studier — blant annet ved private høyskoler, Politihøgskolen og Forsvaret — har egen søknadsvei utenom Samordna opptak. Sjekk alltid NMBU egne sider for detaljene.

Lærestedets egen beskrivelse av studiet, slik den er publisert i Felles studentsystem.
Følgende emner er obligatorisk for alle studentene:
I tillegg velger studentene å fordype seg i minst et av følgende emner på 300-nivå:
Kandidater med mastergrad i økologi fra NMBU har en helhetlig forståelse av økologiske prinsipper. De har også oppnådd de nødvendige vitenskapelige, analytiske og kommunikative ferdighetene til å anvende kunnskapen sin til å utføre relevant forskning og arbeide med aktuelle miljøspørsmål. Kandidaten skal også forstå at tverrfaglig kompetanse og samarbeid er nødvendig for å bidra til bærekraftige løsninger på dagens store globale miljøutfordringer, og være trent til å bidra i slike prosesser.
Studentene tilegner seg, bearbeider, drøfter og syntetiserer avansert kunnskap gjennom en kombinasjon av forelesninger, seminarer, prosjektoppgaver, semesteroppgaver, utferder og feltarbeid. Studiet avsluttes med et selvstendig forskningsprosjekt, en masteroppgave på 60 studiepoeng.
Higher Education Entrance Qualification and a completed bachelor's degree comparable to a Norwegian bachelor's degree included a specialization worth 80 ECTS. Documented proficiency in English in accordance with NMBU regulations.
Applicants must have obtained a minimum grade point average (GPA) of C (in Norwegian scale) or equivalent in their degree.
A Bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, in natural sciences, with solid knowledge of ecology, ecological processes and statistics.
Students who have already obtained a master’s degree in Norway will not be prioritised.
Evalueringsformene er varierte og består av skriftlig og muntlig eksamen, semesteroppgaver, restaureringsplaner, studentforedrag, deltakelse i debatter samt deltagelse på og rapportering fra obligatoriske aktiviteter. Masteroppgaven diskuteres med ekstern sensor til stede.
Are you interested in ecology, biological diversity and natural processes? Global environmental challenges such as climate change, natural habitat degradation, and species extinction make ecologists and their skills more important than ever.
Do you want to work with biological monitoring, nature conservation, and ecosystem management? Climate change, habitat loss, and pollution are straining ecosystems worldwide. Ecologists are needed to help understand these issues and come up with solutions.
This program focuses on the following:
Ecologists play a key role in understanding how humans impact the environment. This knowledge is a prerequisite for combatting important environmental challenges of our time, and when reversing land and water degradation through restoration measures.
NMBU has an extensive course catalogue within ecology and related subjects, which is taught by dedicated teachers and researchers who are experts within their field.
The master's thesis gives you the opportunity to delve into a scientific topic of your choice. We give our students plenty of freedom when it comes to choosing a topic for the thesis. NMBU's ecology students do their fieldwork in many different countries in some of the most spectacular natural landscapes on the planet. Example of previous thesis topics include:
Job opportunities
Ecologists work in all parts of society where environmental issues are of concern. You will be qualified for tasks related to environmental monitoring, biological conservation, research, and education.
Our alumni work for a variety of employers, ranging from public government, NGOs, research institutions, and the university sector. The programme has a strong research emphasis, and can serve as a foundation for Ph.D. studies.
Here are just some examples of the kinds of jobs our graduates have obtained:
Learning outcomes
As an ecology student you will study nature and natural processes. You will learn about the factors that regulate the structure and diversity of ecosystems. You will also learn about the interactions between humans and ecosystems, including our impacts and their mitigation.
We focus on the significance of biodiversity for ecosystems and underlying causes for the loss of biological diversity. Our goal is to give you an up-to-date knowledge on global environmental change and how it affects organisms and ecosystems.
As a graduate you will be able to plan and conduct independent scientific field work, as well as evaluate, analyse and synthesize the data afterwards. You will also be able to use ecological principles and knowledge from an applied perspective; such as in nature conservation and the management of natural resources.
The following courses are compulsory for all students:
In addition, you must choose a minimum of one of the following courses:
To make it easier to choose from NMBU's extensive course catalogue, we have created some suggested example plans within the following topics (click on the course code to see course descriptions):
These specializations will provide you with a number of additional skills and competencies.
Learning by doing: the master's thesis
To facilitate extensive hands-on experience, the entire second year is dedicated the master’s thesis (60 ECTS). This enables you to gain extensive fieldwork and data analysis experience, giving you a competitive edge in the job market after graduation. Our master´s students do their fieldwork in many different countries, spread across four continents.
