Course Overview

The introductory foundation year is designed to increase your knowledge and understanding of core biological processes and other aspects of environmental studies.
Human impact on the natural world has left devastating effects on wildlife habitats and biodiversity. Our BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology degree explores conservation theory and practice both in zoos and in the wild.

Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, our course focuses on conservation, both in zoos and in the wild - ideal if you wish to pursue a career involving wildlife, working in either of those environments. The course team also has close links with local zoos and aquariums that can provide you with a wide range of experiences throughout your studies.

One of the key features of this course is our strong emphasis on field trips – these include day trips as well as national and overseas residential trips with the majority of these trips being free. 

You will:

• Develop awareness and use of practical skills that are used in wildlife conservation and zoos

• Gain real-world perspectives with opportunity to go on a variety of UK and international field trips
