The course

This course provides comprehensive training in modern wildlife management techniques and is designed to introduce key concepts of wildlife conservation, biodiversity and sustainable resource management. Students will develop a broad understanding of the scientific principles required for effective management of our wild flora and fauna, which is increasingly coming under pressure as a result of human activity. Combined with a sound scientific underpinning students will gain hands-on experience in the techniques of collecting, analysing, and interpreting data for the conservation and management of our wildlife and natural resources.

Work placement

The year-long industrial placement gives students the opportunity to work in a course-relevant wildlife conservation or resource management environment. This generates excellent applied knowledge and improves employment prospects.

Careers

Wildlife Conservation and Resource Management graduates can look forward to varied careers in a range of wildlife conservation related careers. Typical employment areas include: Reserve ecologist, environmental consultancy work in wildlife parks and zoos, working for charities and voluntary organisations including wildlife rescue centres, and practical countryside and conservation positions as rangers/wardens.
