BSc (Hons) Ecology and Conservation

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

Climate change, an increasing human population, habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species are fundamentally changing the planet’s ecosystems. Mitigating the impacts of these is a crucial challenge facing societies across the globe.

In our BSc (Hons) Ecology and Conservation course you’ll study how these changes are impacting biodiversity. You’ll research the ecology of different habitats and species, and consider the most recent advances in conservation.

In the lab, you’ll develop skills in identification and soil analysis. And you’ll take part in fieldwork developing surveying and sampling skills. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to start a career in protecting wildlife and the environment – and show others what they can do to protect life on Earth.
