COURSE OVERVIEW
Doctor of Philosophy(Environmental Biology) - BIO
Environmental Biology is increasingly gaining attention, especially in these environmentally-conscience times. Malaysia enjoys the luxury of a rich biodiversity in a relatively small area. Its effective preservation and conservation requires a strong understanding and appreciation of the environment. Students are trained in fundamental and practical aspects of ecology and the environment. Knowledge and understanding of various concepts of ecology, function and interaction between abiotic and biotic components of various ecosystems will be strengthened. This will give a broad understanding about the diversity together with the structure and function of tropical ecosystems, the importance of environmental protection and conservation of natural resources. Aquatic biology and environmental biology are therefore very closely related. Academic personnel in the School of Biological Sciences doing research related to Environmental Biology are also involved in supervising postgraduate students working on Aquatic Biology-related research topics.
