Ecology and Conservation

Climate change, an increasing human population, habitat loss, pollution and invasive species are fundamentally changing the planet's ecosystems. Mitigating the impacts of these is the crucial challenge facing societies across the globe.

On our BSc (Hons) Ecology and Conservation course you'll study how these changes are impacting biodiversity. We'll show you how to manage ecosystems sustainably, in ways that help marine, forest and agricultural resources to thrive, now and in the future. You'll research the ecology of different habitats and species, and consider the most recent advances in conservation.

In the lab you'll develop skills in identification and microscopy. And you'll take part in fieldwork developing surveying and sampling skills. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to start a career in protecting wildlife and the environment – and show others what they can do to protect life on Earth.

Trace the evolution of life, examining the diversity of plants and animals, including humans. Take part in residential fieldwork, where we'll show you how to complete biological research. And broaden your knowledge of the discipline through modules in cell biology and genetics.
