Integrated Wildlife Conservation - FdSc

Why study FdSc Integrated Wildlife Conservation?
FdSc Integrated Wildlife Conservation adopts a biological approach to the study of wildlife conservation issues, developing a scientific understanding of our relationship with wildlife and the impact of our actions on it. Appealing to students attracted to a career in conservation who may not have considered a university education, the Foundation degree gives you a recognised qualification in wildlife conservation after two years and provides a direct route to Level three of BSc(Hons) Integrated Wildlife Conservation at UWE Bristol.
Why study our course?
This is the only conservation foundation degree delivered in partnership with a working zoo, giving you unique work-based experience, which will enable you to stand out from the crowd as you build your career.
You will gain the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to play a positive role in solving conservation challenges. The course is designed to provide the knowledge and expertise necessary to work in wildlife conservation, with emphasis on developing subject-specific and work-based practical skills.
You will study in Bristol, 2015 European Green Capital and home to the BBC's world-renowned Natural History Unit.
