Master of Research in Evolution - From the Galapagos to the 21st Century

Program Overview

Discover the process of evolution, and its impact on modern life, on this master’s course at the University of Southampton. You’ll work with experts in subject areas from biological sciences to philosophy as you explore the subject. You'll take a field trip to the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific, where Charles Darwin developed his theory of natural selection.

On this course, MRes Evolution: From the Galapagos to the 21st Century, you’ll work with academics from across the University while developing knowledge and skills in your chosen specialism. 

As an MRes student you’ll spend more time on your research project and less on the taught part of the course. 

You’ll gain a unique perspective on the subject through insights from subject areas including: 

  • biological sciences 
  • archaeology 
  • computer sciences 
  • engineering 
  • maths 
  • medicine 
  • ocean and Earth sciences 

You’ll gain a strong foundation in evolutionary biology, while learning about new methods, current global challenges and the latest research topics, such as: 

  • evolutionary medicine 
  • evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) 
  • bioengineering 
  • computational evolution 
  • the philosophy of science 

A highlight of the course is a 2-week field trip to the Galapagos, the ‘living laboratory’ that played a key role in Darwin’s theory of evolution. This is an amazing opportunity for you to discover how these remote islands’ unique species helped to shape modern science.
