Ecology and Conservation, BSc - 2017/18

Our Ecology and Conservation degree takes an interdisciplinary approach and incorporates modules taught in the Life Sciences and Geography. This allows you to explore important aspects of ecology, population genetics, animal behaviour and other biological disciplines while also learning how they relate to geology, landscape as well as local and global geography. The Ecology Research Group (ERG) also offers you opportunities to collaborate with lecturers on their research. The ERG has close links with environmental organisations, including Natural England and the Kent Wildlife Trust, creating opportunities for you to network and speak with professionals about employment and career advice. As you progress through the course, you will have the opportunity to hone your skills in conducting independent research, analysing data statistically and presenting them effectively in writing and in oral presentations. The Ecology and Conservation course brings together modules on the most relevant and current aspects of biological and geographical sciences to create a truly integrated and multifaceted learning experience that prepares you for exciting careers.
