Why choose SNM?

The Natural History Museum of Denmark houses 14 million specimens and is the largest natural history collection in the country. The NHMD scientific staff reflects this, as we have a range of specialists in different groups of organisms. We offer courses that use the knowledge of organisms as the starting point, but which also puts them in a broader ecological and evolutionary context. We teach and supervise projects in botany, geology, and zoology, but also in citizen science, where you can gain experience in spreading knowledge of research in the broader population and engage it in generating data, e.g., for preserving biodiversity.

Our teaching is based on the latest research and includes practicals and field excursions. The teaching also involves our collections, especially for projects, where you get to try your hand in collections-based research [see examples of projects conducted at the NHMD here]. The researchers at the NHMD conduct field work in many parts of the world, from the Arctic to the tropics, and we offer field courses both in Tanzania and Brazil.

If you are interested in geo- and biodiversity, whether living or extinct, and how you can spread knowledge of it, we can surely offer you relevant teaching.
