START YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL AND LIFE SCIENCES CAREER HERE!

Ecology is the cornerstone of the Life Sciences. It provides the link between the different branches of Life Sciences, structuring them as a complete concept of life. Ecology studies the relationships between living beings, be it animal, plants or microorganisms, and with their environment. How we interact, benefit or compete with each other, how we evolve together, how the environment presents opportunities for change, and how living beings alter the environment to provide for their own needs. This course covers general principles of ecology, that can be applied anywhere on our planet.
