Course Overview

The world faces unprecedented environmental challenges, which threaten the future of plants, animals, and people. You'll focus on ecological concepts, the natural world, and how we conserve it, through exploring the community and ecosystem ecology of habitats, plants, and the people who use them.

This course will help you explore practical solutions to these problems, through a range of lectures, practicals, and fieldwork, preparing you for a career in ecology and conservation.

Our 200-hectare rural campus offers a unique learning environment where you will put theory into practice and gain hands-on ecology and conservation experience. We utilize this outdoor classroom in many of our modules, for example, by undertaking species and habitat surveys across the campus. You will be taught by lecturers who have vast experience in the conservation sector and in ecological research.

Throughout the course, you will have the chance to participate in many exciting field courses. You will have the opportunity to visit South Africa, southern Spain, and Pembrokeshire, where you will learn about the unique biodiversity of savannah, Mediterranean, and coastal ecosystems, respectively.
