About the course
The course focuses on factors and processes that influence biological diversity. The theoretical studies in Uppsala are coupled with a field course (three weeks) to one of the world's biodiversity hotspots: Yunnan in southwestern China. Yunnan is rich in both biological and cultural senses. Part of the field course takes place at a research centre in Xishuangbanna, southern Yunnan, where ecological field projects will be carried out. Threats against biodiversity will also be a topic in the course. The course is wrapped up in Uppsala after the field course.
The course includes a field course abroad. To participate in the field course there is a cost of approximately 18,000 SEK. For students who do not wish to participate in the field course, alternatives will be arranged.
