• The planet is in urgent need of capable and well-trained wildlife conservationists to find solutions to the problems of biodiversity loss. If the students are passionate about wildlife and planning a career in conservation, the exciting Masters's course will equip you with the skills you need.
  • They will focus on the sustainable management of wildlife and habitats, with an emphasis on developing practical skills and the ability to analyze and interpret data in the interests of conservation.
  • Over the course of their study, they will develop skills including the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software, research and communication skills. There's an optional laboratory-based module on conservation genetics.
  • Field trips give students the chance to apply their skills whilst working on conservation projects in the UK and abroad. They can choose to go on an exciting residential field trip (usually in Borneo, but this may vary) to explore the issues central to wildlife conservation in situ. Alternatively, they may choose to further develop their theoretical and practical skills in the application of DNA technologies, that are widely used in modern conservation and animal behaviour research.
