The University of Dundee is one of the leading universities in Europe for research in Life Sciences. We make fundamental discoveries on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying health and disease in humans, animals, plants, parasites and bacteria.

The PhD Programme in Biology and Ecology of Global Changes is a co-tutoring PhD programme between Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal) and the University of Lisbon (Portugal), with the participation of the Federal University of Tocantins (Brasil) and the University of Brasilia (Brasil).

At the University of Reading, they offer PhD degrees in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology programmes.

At the University of Reading, they offer several routes to a doctoral qualification, including this PhD in Ecology and Agri-Environmental Research. 

The PhD of Biology and Ecology at the University of Hradec Králové is a continuation of the bachelor and master studies of the same name.

The doctoral studies programme in Biological Diversity and Ecology from University of Göttingen, qualifies for scientific work in the areas of biodiversity and ecology in university and non-university research institutes.

The Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS) at University of Würzburg provides doctoral researchers with structured doctoral training. In return, the doctoral researcher has to meet additional requirements in order to successfully compete our graduate program. 

The aim of the Agroecology course form Aarhus University is to train and promote the next generation of researchers, scholars, and technology developers within soil and environmental sciences and technology at the highest scientific level in a truly inter-disciplinary and international atmosphere.

The Ecology program at the University of Zurich offers research training in the interdisciplinary field of ecology, general skills training for academic and non-academic excellence and opportunities to interact with other doctoral students.

The Life Sciences program at the University of Lausanne, which is complementary to the research work, is designed to adapt to the needs of the students. 

The Ph.D. Degree in Biodiversity and Ecology from University of Cyprus aims at providing students with high quality education of international standing, so that that they can develop a deep understanding of their science and a versatile thinking, something critical for their professional career in the modern environment.

Ecology and evolution are essential scientific fields in our understanding of life and biodiversity on Earth, and are of growing societal relevance. The doctoral program in Ecology and Evolution at the University of Geneva brings together world-class research groups in an active and innovative academic community.

The Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Stirling is internationally renowned for research exploring the relationship between human behaviour, technology and the environment. It offers PhD in Ecology supervised by expert staff, and are proud of the key contributions made by research students to our achievements.

The integrated graduate programme in Plant Ecological Genetics (GEcoGen) provides early-career researchers a training environment for developing scientific and professional expertise in both Molecular Biology and Ecology.

The Social Ecology programme offered at Charles University is based on an interdisciplinary approach, which is at present, in the given field, unambiguously aimed at a stronger interdependence between natural and social science disciplines and subjects.

The Forest Ecology programme from Technical University in Zvolen previously called the science of the forest environment, is a vast field dealing with the study of relationships and communities of organisms in the forest. 

The Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Sustainability in Society programme from University of Helsinki builds on the strengths of world-leading ecological and evolutionary research, and advanced interdisciplinary approaches to environmental challenges.

The Life Sciences degree at University of Roehampton aims to provide its research students with the opportunity to study in a stimulating, responsive, supportive environment, which fosters independent, critical thinking. 

Ecology PhD students at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences investigate the relationship between organisms and the landscape, soil, environment and climate.

The Ecological, Veterinary, Agronomic, and Bioengineering Sciences programme offered by INSA Toulouse - Institut National des Sciences Appliquées develops advanced research expertise in evolutionary biology, ecosystems, and biological interactions across multiple levels of organization.
