Course Overview

Our course is specifically targeted at giving you the skills you need to pursue a successful career.

The University has an award-winning Careers and Employability service that provides a variety of employability-enhancing experiences; through the curriculum, employer contact, tailored group sessions, individual information, advice, and guidance.

General Eligibility

Applicants should normally possess an honors degree (minimum 2:1) in biological/behavioral/ecological science (e.g. animal behavior, conservation biology, zoology) including components of experimental design and statistical analysis.

Students with a minimum of a 2:1 undergraduate degree in an unrelated area must demonstrate on the application that they have equivalent experience in a related field, e.g. wildlife conservation, or captive animal management. They must also demonstrate on application evidence of experimental design and basic statistical analysis skills, perhaps gained during the completion of a research dissertation or by carrying out an additional course.
