Courses
Our MSc Conservation Management combines the expertise of the field biologist with practical experience of managing habitats. A firm emphasis is placed on fieldwork, biological identification skills and experience of a broad range of management issues.
You will develop an in-depth understanding of biodiversity, geographic information systems and conservation practice, explore the diversity of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates, and learn field-based monitoring techniques for mammals and amphibians.
There is also the opportunity to explore particular Biosciences subjects in depth on our MRes Masters by Research or you can train to teach Biology in secondary schools on the PGCE Secondary Science (Biology) (Age Phase 11-16) with QTS.
