Master's Degree Program: National Taiwan University Award in Biodiversity

Awards are available to pursue a full-time master's degree program in Biodiversity at National Taiwan University (NTU). The program is taught in English. The Master's Program in Biodiversity (MPB) is cross-disciplinary in nature, cultivating talent with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in biodiversity conservation and management as well as awareness of international biodiversity governance. The program emphasizes biodiversity theories as a foundation before moving on to more in-depth discussions on the scientific knowledge of biodiversity, sustainable resource utilization and planning, and benefit estimation and sharing. The curriculum covers the methodology and technology required for conducting research, revolving around two main themes: Biodiversity Science and Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainability. With practical training based on local biodiversity issues and mini-courses taught by international scholars, students can develop problem-solving skills necessary for biodiversity management in Taiwan while widening their horizons by interacting with researchers from around the world. The program integrates the perspectives of humanities, social sciences, and environmental sustainability into the study of biodiversity conservation to produce graduates who meet the current qualifications for global biodiversity conservation and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
