Tropical Biology Course

Hi everyone

As mentioned by Prof. Ricardo, the DBA is an associate of the Tropical Biology Association (TBA) (http://www.tropical-biology.org/). As an associate, DBA students will have priority access to TBA courses, as well as cost savings. So, if anyone is interested here is the disclosure of this year's course.

The month-long field course will be held at Mpala Research Centre, Kenya from 12^th August to 6^th September 2022. TBA will be following relevant and national covid guidance for all their activities in Kenya. For more details click here Kenya-field-course  or Kenya 2022

TBA courses are an excellent opportunity for students to learn first-hand about tropical ecology and conservation from internationally renowned biologists and gain practical field-based experience.  Uniquely, TBA gives half of the course places to European students and half to students from the host region, creating a dynamic and multi-cultural mix.  

TBA is looking for students who have completed at least three years of their first degree in a biological science, who have a genuine interest in tropical ecology and are keen to learn new ideas.  

All European students are eligible for a British Ecological Society scholarship. The TBA field courses are equivalent to approximately 10 credits under the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). 

Member institutions get priority places for their students and a 25% discount on the course fee.
