The Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (EMBC) is offered by 
a University consortium consisting of 6 partners: Ghent University (Belgium), University of Bremen 
(Germany), University of the Algarve (Portugal), University Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 006 (France), 
University of Oviedo (Spain) and University of Klaipèda (Lithuania)). 
 
The study programme is divided in 3 thematic modules: (1) Understanding the structure and 
function of marine biodiversity, (2) Toolbox for investigating marine biodiversity, (3) Conservation 
and Restoration of marine biodiversity. 
 
Since the start in 2008, up to 200 students from over 40 countries have enrolled in this 
international Master Programme. The international dimension is not only reflected in the 
multinational origin of students but also in the mobility within the programme: Each student 
enrolling in EMBC has to study in at least two different universities. Many students study even in 
three different locations by doing thesis work in marine research institutes all over the world. 
 
European students who still wish to enrol for the next academic year can still submit their details on 
the website – http://embc.marbef.org
