About the course
In the course you will learn about the fundamental principles of palaeobiology and evolution, as well as the classification and phylogeny of organisms. You will apply your theoretical knowledge during a field excursion. The field excursion normally takes place in Dorset, Great Britain, a week in mid-March with an associated cost of 1250 SEK for the student. The course also contains practical exercises in the laboratory.
