BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation and Environmental Management

... United Kingdom
... Harper Adams University

Course Overview

Graduates can expect employment in diverse sectors around sustainable land use and management. A range of organisations, including local government, large corporations, developers and NGOs such as Wildlife Trusts, employ staff with expertise in surveying, managing and assessing wildlife populations.

Projects, large and small, require work to mitigate impacts, mainly where protected species and habitats of conservation value are present. Understanding animal behaviour and welfare, population ecology, field skills, conservation science and underpinning environmental legislation will open up opportunities for graduates from this course. Placements have seen students working with ecological and planning consultants, the National Trust, and AONB advisors working with farmers to enhance wildlife habitat. Graduates can also expect employment within the more traditional countryside management sector in warden and management roles focusing on land and wildlife ecological management.

You will develop a coherent understanding of the scientific methodology behind effective management techniques for our wild flora and fauna and gain hands-on experience in collecting, analysing and interpreting data for conserving our wildlife and natural resources.

Areas studied include Wildlife Conservation. The Natural Environment and Climate Change, Wildlife Identification, Adaptive Biology, Ecology, Principles of Animal Behaviour and Welfare
