About the Courses All courses are taught at a level accessible to students in the exact, life, human and sociocultural evolutionary sciences. Students of evolutionary biology, microbiology, paleontology, evolutionary linguistics, evolutionary anthropology, and philosophy of biology will especially benefit from these courses. You are free to either enroll for a specific module (and therefore to follow a 30-hour course on the subject taught by 3 teachers) or you may choose to enroll for 3 specific courses (10 hours per course), regardless the module they are classified in.
