Course Overview

Here at our Ambleside campus, you will have access to new laboratories and excellent equipment including camera traps, to help you in your studies. Optional modules will enable you to customise your course to ensure it gives you the skills you need to become a wildlife conservationist, animal conservationist, or develop a career in a related field. You will be able to get involved in conservation research and go on an international field trip to learn about wildlife conservation in less-developed countries. Our strong links with wildlife conservation organisations – both in the UK and abroad – will provide you with excellent work placements, volunteering opportunities and job prospects.
