I was a Duke Global Fellow 4 years ago and had a really great summer out there. Apart from the great learning experience and having the opportunity to work with leading researchers in the field I made lasting friendships with like minded, fun people and subsequently have built collaborations for research. I fully recommend that anyone interested in marine conservation applies for this.
Deadline: 15 February 2012
Fellowships for international students will fully cover travel expenses, room and board, and tuition for two courses, your required course BIOLOGY 109/ENVIRON 109/ENVIRON 209 Conservation Biology and Policy and an elective course of your choice to subject to availability. The courses begin on July 9 and ends on August 10, 2012.
Eligibility
The Global Fellowships are available to any international applicant with a good working knowledge of English who has an interest and qualifications in marine conservation biology. The course requires some background in marine science and political science. Usually Global Fellows have a BA or BS degree in hand.
