The course is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in these fields, and the practical experience gained through research projects will give students a significant advantage when seeking employment.

Leading the Way in Ecological Research and Conservation

Bangor University is recognized as a leader in ecological research and conservation efforts. The university has extensive experience in conducting research in both terrestrial and marine environments, and the faculty are actively involved in a range of ecological projects. Students on this course will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, as well as the opportunity to work alongside experienced researchers. Additionally, the university's location in North Wales provides easy access to a diverse range of ecosystems, offering students a unique opportunity to gain practical experience in real-world environments.

This course will teach you how to apply ecological sciences to the real-world needs of sustainable management and natural resource conservation across terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Current thinking in environmental management recognises the need for holistic practices which acknowledge the interrelatedness of the terrestrial and aquatic environments. As well as studying fundamental ecology, you will develop skills that allow you to assess the impact of policy decisions on management. You will be well prepared for the future job market as public and private sector organisations are increasingly paying attention to the sustainability and environmental impact of their operations. We offer a wide range of optional modules including forest ecology, environmental Policy, freshwater ecosystems, wildlife ecology and conservation, forest ecology, ornithology, primatology, Human aspects of conservation.

You will have the option of going on a weeklong field course to Tenerife or a longer tropical field course to Uganda. Our location, between the Menai Strait and Snowdonia National Park, offers unrivalled opportunities for learning about ecology, conservation and the natural environment outside the class room. This course is packed with field trips and practical sessions.

We have close links with many of the local conservation organisations including Snowdonia National Park Authority, Natural Resources Wales and the British Trust for Ornithology which help our students gain understanding of conservation practice.
