Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Ecology and Wildlife Conservation (CD94)

With this BSc Ecology and Wildlife Conservation course students will learn about the ways in which living things interact with their environment and apply this knowledge to tackling the biggest challenges facing the world today.

This course will equip students with the skills they need for a career in ecology or wildlife conservation through a combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience in the field. Students will learn to apply knowledge of ecosystems to environmental issues such as habitat conservation, the biological control of diseases, and the protection of the world's rarest plants and creatures.

Students will also be able to practice species identification and ecology skills through field trips to Spain and the tropics. These will also enable students to study biodiversity in other habitats such as arid landscapes, forests and oceans.

Students in previous years have worked at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, RSPB and Environment Agency. Students can also choose to spend a year abroad, typically carrying out research for an academic institute.
