Training experts of tomorrow
EMABG offers a well-structured study programme that is unique in the possibilities of specialisations. These specialisations correspond with the strengths of the respective universities both in teaching and research. The specialisations focus on the main areas of modern research in biodiversity and genomics and provide students with excellent knowledge and relevant skills for successfully targeting the cutting-edge questions of genetic research as young scientists. These young scientists will graduate as specialised experts with a broad, interdisciplinary and international background. Graduates with those properties will become the elite experts and scientists of tomorrow who will make good use of their network with their EMABG universities. Thus, the already strong excellence network between the EMABG universities will be sustained, advanced and improved by the next generation.

Specialisation and interdisciplinarity
The already highly competitive field of animal biodiversity will profit from those young professionals who will be thoroughly trained for the many specialised fields. By the structure of EMABG the focus and contents of its education offer clear profiles to both students and possible employers. This kind of profile is new in European higher education for animal biodiversity and genomics. Also, the interdisciplinary methodological contributions will produce alumni of an as yet highly uncommon combination of knowledge and skills in graduates, which will contribute to their employability and future synergies within the field.
Education and skills
The EMABG program offers a structured approach to courses and teaching methods, combining classroom lectures with practical exercises focused on real-world problems. The program aims to develop professionals with T-shaped skills: deep knowledge in specific disciplines and a broad understanding of societal contexts. The six partner universities contribute their scientific expertise in animal biodiversity and genomics, offering students the flexibility to choose a study track. This ensures a strong academic profile and develops essential soft skills and international experiences. Each university specializes in different aspects of animal biodiversity and genomics, providing students with the best education tailored to their chosen focus.
