Our teaching philosophy is based on the idea that biodiversity conservation must be grounded in a multi-level knowledge approach, mixing key disciplines in ecology and evolution with recent technical advances in the fields of biometry, molecular ecology and management tools. The teaching content is rooted in our established strengths in behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation biology, quantitative ecology and research design. The master program is further enriched by input from professional conservationists and managers, with the aim to put courses in the broader context of project management and decision-making policies.<\/p>\n<p>The specific teaching objectives aim at developing and improving students\u2019 skills to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>engage<\/em> with concepts and theory in behavioural ecology, conservation biology and wildlife management from interdisciplinary perspectives at an advanced scientific level.<\/li>\n<li><em>assess<\/em> the ability of organisms to react, cope with and adjust to environmental change occurring over different spatial and time scales.<\/li>\n<li><em>appreciate<\/em> the opportunities offered by new technological developments for the future of research on animal behaviour and wildlife management<\/li>\n<li><em>combine<\/em> theory, hypotheses, methods, data and fieldwork so as to identify and develop innovative research questions and design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Half of the second year is devoted to conducting a personal research project and writing a thesis of about 12,000 words. Research projects are conducted within an international team previously selected by the students, and led with the support of an expert supervisor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Teaching <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Teaching consists of lectures, seminars by international researchers, class tutorials and practical training in the laboratory and in the field, providing in-depth exploration of key issues. Our teaching philosophy is to stimulate balanced and evidence-based discussions and debates between academic staff and students. Such interactions provide efficient training to identify and explore theory, methods and practice in an academic environment.<\/p>\n<p>Field courses allow students to apply the methods and ideas developed in the classroom to practical use in the field. Each year, you will attend at least one week-long fieldtrip, and several one-day field sessions. The \u00ab\u00a0Camargue field course\u00a0\u00bb provides the opportunity to work on a model species for wildlife management in the Camargue Natural Regional Park (CNRP): the greater flamingo. Fieldwork will be grounded on extensive research on wildlife populations in the context of the various activities taking place in the CNRP. Other field courses address the quantitative analysis of animal behaviour, the monitoring of wildlife, and ex-situ conservation. The \u201cParc Polaire fieldtrip\u201d, held in the Jura mountains, allows students to experience the role of and the stakes faced by a park dedicated to the conservation of European wild species such as the European bison and deer species.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Future career prospects\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The aim of our master program is to train future scientific leaders in animal behaviour and conservation biology, as well as future managers and policy officers in biodiversity, conservation and wildlife management.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, our program aims at providing both a diversified and specialized expertise in the general fields of animal behaviour and wildlife management. It also combines behavioural ecology and conservation biology as two major disciplines with some other relevant topics \u2013 ethics and deontology, epistemology, socioeconomics of conservation, structure and management of environmental organizations, in addition to the hard science of biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>The master\u2019s Alumni Office helps alumni keep in touch with each other and organizes alumni events.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Entry requirements\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Students eligible to the master program BEWM must have obtained a degree equivalent to or higher than a Bachelor of Science. Background knowledge in evolutionary biology, ecology and animal behaviour is mandatory, as well as sufficient training in quantitative methods and statistics. Candidates must have very good academic qualifications in general, and, more specifically, good grades in these disciplines. A good command of English is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates must have a strong motivation to undertake higher level training in behavioral ecology and conservation biology. They must be able to outline their professional goals.<\/p>\n<p>During the first year, students take the examinations associated with the Master in <em>Conservation Biology<\/em>, specialized in <em>Behavioural Ecology and Wildlife Management<\/em>. Examinations must be successfully passed (i.e. obtain 60 ECTS credits) in order to proceed to the second year. In the second year, the thesis following your research project accounts for half the marks of the second year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Grants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Up to five fellowship grants (800 \u20ac per month, during up to 10 months) will be awarded each year to high quality foreign students.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Site of training\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The whole of the two-year master program takes place in the city of Dijon<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f35c151 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f35c151\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dcb6bf6\" data-id=\"dcb6bf6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd17dec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dd17dec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>Contacts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For further information about how to apply, please directly contact the head of the master program :<\/p>\n<p>Frank CEZILLY : <a href=\"mailto:frank.cezilly@u-bourgogne.fr\">frank.cezilly@u-bourgogne.fr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please also like our facebook page (\u201cMaster BEWM \u2013 UBFC Dijon\u201d) to stay up to date with the latest news about our program<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1c7f506\" data-id=\"1c7f506\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-218495d elementor-button-success elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"218495d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature-conservation-ubfc.com\/bewm\/fr\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">BEWM website<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc575c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cc575c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubfc.fr\/en\/formations\/masters\/\">&gt; Go back to apply<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-47924c8\" data-id=\"47924c8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behavioural Ecology and Wildlife Management Outline of the program\u00a0\u00a0 The Master in Conservation Biology, with specialization in Behavioural Ecology and Wildlife Management, aims at providing a critical and conceptually-based understanding of animal behaviour and evolutionary ecology, in the framework of conservation biology and wildlife management.
