The section of Palaeoecology (Laboratory of Palaeobotany en Palynology) offers several courses in the second and third year of the BSc education for degrees related to the study program Biogeology and Plant Biology. The program is tailored for Biology and Geosciences students. Participants will acquire in-depth knowledge of the long-term interaction between the biosphere on the one hand and the hydrosphere, geosphere and atmosphere on the other hand and skills needed to conduct independent scientific research and analytical surveys. The program is unique in its nature in the Netherlands. Subjects include:

* terrestrial and aquatic Palaeoecology

* Palaeoceanography and climate variability

* Palaeobiology and proxies on different levels of integration (organisms, molecules)

* Landscape genesis and vegetation history

* Biogeology and Evolutionary biology.
