As populations grow and human activities threaten the natural world, ecology and conservation biology has never been more important. With this degree, you will discover how we sustain biodiversity and the fundamental importance of the ecological processes involved.
On this course, you’ll gain cutting-edge knowledge and develop your skills and experience in ecology and conservation, from your doorstep to the globe. With exciting field courses in wonderful landscapes, to observations of animals behaving in the lab, you will learn how to measure the distribution and abundance of different species, how organisms interact with each other and their environment, and you will be challenged to think creatively about the application of ecology to conservation problems. Personalise your degree by studying from a wide choice of optional modules including animal behaviour, evolution, climate change science, sustainability and environmental law.
This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project. You may also choose to apply for our 3-year BSc and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance.
