Our Ecology and Conservation MSci explores key areas within ecology, conservation biology, natural resources management and community health.
This integrated degree provides an in-depth study of ecology at masters level, enabling you to develop advanced analytical and research skills, as well as providing the opportunity to focus your studies on current issues in ecology and conservation and further your identification and census skills.
You will learn from research-active lecturers who are experts in their field, with research strengths in ecology and conservation, zoonotic disease, ecosystems and environmental management. Many apply novel, innovative research techniques in multidisciplinary approaches, from molecular ecology to social sciences, addressing research questions that can inform practical conservation.
Fieldwork opportunities in the UK and abroad further develop the skills and knowledge that are essential for conservationists and ecologists. Current locations for field trips abroad include South Africa and the Mediterranean, where you will study indigenous species and issues around habitat, species management and conservation. Local field trips take full advantage of the diverse landscape of our region.
