Precious wildlife habitats and biodiversity are in danger. Be part of the solution and study the ecology and behaviour of animals in the wild with our BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation degree.
We focus your learning on core conservation issues, the physical environment and landscape. You will experience hands-on learning in our advanced Bodmer laboratories and develop transferable skills interpreting biological field data. As your studies progress, you will gain theoretical and practical understanding of wildlife, wildlife ecology and environmental problems that threaten species.
Through our close industry connections, and our use of immersive field trips, we will help you bring textbook theory to real-world practice as you experience UK and international field trips to zoos, animal parks and wetlands. The course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
