4. MSc Modelling Biological Populations and Interactions
Why choose this course? Quantitative models are crucial tools that underpin current research to improve our understanding of the behaviour of complex biological systems. Ecological modelling can predict the impact of both climate change and the effects of land-use changes on biodiversity. Such models provide a critical resource for environmental policy development, whilst agronomic decision support models are vital in the development of sustainable agriculture. The emphasis of this course is the practical implementation of modelling tools to address real biological problems and will equip you with a working knowledge of current approaches to the statistical and mathematical modelling of biological populations and their interactions. You will learn how models can be used to predict responses to a changing environment, the importance of model testing and how to deliver models to target audiences in academia and industry. The course includes a research project.
