BA (Hons) Conservation Biology

... United Kingdom
... Liverpool Hope University

Course Overview

Conservation biologists work with government or private agencies serving as consultants on ecological or land use issues, ecologists, wildlife managers, nature conservation managers, or work in environmental monitoring.

This course will provide the required subject knowledge and scientific tools (practical, numerical, and computational skills employers value) to pursue such career options.

Some of our graduates train to be teachers, while others go on to further study at MastersMasters and Doctorate levels.

Conservation biology protects and manages nature and the Earth's biodiversity. It involves evaluating human and other factors affecting all living organisms to protect and conserve species, habitats, and ecosystems. It is an interdisciplinary subject that draws on natural sciences to devise satisfactory processes and approaches to sustain and protect plant and animal biodiversity in the UK and abroad.

This course mainly focuses on conservation in terrestrial environments. It develops knowledge of critical areas such as the principles and practices of ecology, habitat management, nature conservation, and the functioning of natural systems, particularly about different points of view, including scientific, ethical, and philosophical perspectives. In addition, opportunities are provided to apply knowledge and understanding of conservation biology during field courses within the UK and abroad, giving them first-hand experience of various ecosystems.

A Placement Year option is available for this course. Undertaking a placement year as part of your degree program offers you the opportunity to gain valuable work experience alongside your studies.
