Course Overview

Learn about the impact of humans on the natural world and the devastating impact on efforts to sustain wildlife habitats and biodiversity. This course will provide you with a strong foundation in biology and environmental issues, enabling you to progress to study our BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation degree.

This foundation year pathway is ideal if you want to study conservation but have a non-scientific background, or you don’t meet the entry requirements for direct entry to our honours degree.

Our BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation brings together conservation issues, the physical environment and landscape, as well as the study the ecology and behaviour of animals in the wild. We've designed the course to provide you with a broad understanding of wildlife, wildlife ecology and environmental problems threatening species, from both theoretical and practical points of view. 

You will:

  • Gain a broad, basic knowledge of biological principles and environmental studies to prepare you for more advanced study
