WM B17 Soft skills
This module aims to cover the fundamentals of academic writing and presenting. Following an in-depth examination of the topics in the lecture sessions, participants will then, in the practical part of the module, write an academic text themselves and/or prepare and deliver an academic presentation. The subsequent discussions will provide an opportunity for detailed feedback.

WPM Comparative behavioural biology
The scientific questions and methods of comparative behavioural biology are explored from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Upon completion of the module, participants will be able to apply evolutionary biological concepts to explain behaviour at the ultimate and proximal levels and to conduct non-invasive behavioural experiments independently.
Degree programme: Master’s in Diversity and Evolution
Semester: Winter semester
Location: Online
Dates: 22 February – 3 March 2021
WPM 12 Marine mammal research/Bioacoustics
The scientific issues and methods of marine mammal research are explored both theoretically (lectures, accompanying seminar) and practically (practical sessions). Upon completion of the module, participants will have acquired a broad knowledge of marine mammal biology and will be able to assist in non-invasive behavioural experiments addressing questions relating to sensory and cognitive biology.
