MASTER’S IN: Biology
DURATION: 2 years
WORKLOAD: 120 credits
TEACHING LANGUAGE: English
TUITION FEE: 425,000 RUB per year
PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
The Master's program in Global Change Ecology and Novel Ecosystems focuses on the complex causes and far-reaching consequences of global change. Students will learn about the multifaceted nature of global change, encompassing changes in climate, land use, water and biogeochemical cycles, as well as environmental pollution and the loss of biodiversity, and how these changes impact all levels of biological organization, from molecules to ecosystems.
The primary focus of the Master's program will be novel ecosystems that are human-built, modified natural, or engineered niches of the biosphere (anthroposphere). They exist in places that have been altered in structure and function by human agency. Novel ecosystems are part of the human environment and habitats (including urban, suburban, and rural); they lack natural analogs, and they have extended an influence that has converted more than three-quarters of the Earth’s wilderness.
Specific attention within the Master's program is given to the development of nature-based solutions, where fundamental knowledge of ecosystems is translated into applied ecosystem management that addresses the negative impacts of global change.
BENEFITS: ✔ As specialists in global change biology, graduates will develop the necessary skills to analyze policy,
influence decision-making, and implement novel solutions for a sustainable economy.
✔ The increasing recognition that global change poses a clear challenge to society makes expertise on the subject a widely sought-after asset for any future professional career
✔ Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded the degree from Lomonosov Moscow University and SMBU.

FACULTY OF GEOGRAPHY Since the foundation of the Moscow State University in 1755, great attention has been paid to geographical research. However, a separate faculty was not created from the very beginning. In 1863, the Department of Physical Geography was opened as part of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. The Department of Geography and Ethnography was added to the Faculty of History and Philology in 1884. Finally, the Faculty of Geography was opened on June 23, 1938.
Today, the field of geography studies the laws of formation and development of the environment and natural, historical, and economic factors behind the territorial distribution of productive forces. The Faculty of Geography conducts research and education on a wide range of fields in geography, environmental and earth sciences, hydrometeorology, environmental management, cartography, geoinformatics, remote sensing, and tourism. About 800 employees, including 100 professors/Doctors of Science and 300 PhD researchers, work on the Faculty.
Nowadays, the MSU Faculty of Geography has the world’s largest educational, scientific, and student community of geographers. More than 1000 BSc and MSc students, and approximately 200 PhD students study in 15 Departments of the Faculty every year. There are a large number of students from China, Iran, France, Germany, and other countries, who also study geography on the Faculty.
The Faculty has 15 departments and 8 research laboratories, 4 research stations, and 28 department laboratories. There are also several computer rooms and analytical laboratories, and a laboratory of mathematical modeling. The
Faculty of Geography has its own publishing facilities and a photo laboratory. The Faculty's Map Library is a major depository of Russian and Soviet topographic and thematic maps (over 300,000 sheets). The Faculty of Geography Reading Hall, which is a part of the University Library, provides immediate access to over 200,000 titles of books, journals, and atlases. Since 1946, the Faculty has published a bi-monthly scientific magazine “Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta. Geografia” [Moscow University Herald. Geography] and a journal “Geography, Environment, Sustainability” published in English since 2010. The Earth Science Museum of the Moscow State University plays an important role in the training of geographers and in research activities, as well as the Faculty's Meteorological Observatory.
The Faculty graduates work to protect and improve the environment. Their profound theoretical knowledge and practical skills in modern scientific methods are combined with their ability to see various geographical issues in connection with natural and environmental issues. Our graduates are employed by the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the CIS academies of sciences, as well as by research and governmental institutions, educational institutions, Hydrometeorological Service, Ruscartography, and enterprises in the field of ecology, resources, tourism, etc.
