Conservation and Biodiversity MSc

The programme is interdisciplinary – it is believed that having the specialist skills to manage habitats and tackle wildlife-human conflict along with a broader understanding of global environmental issues will put you at the forefront of developing successful conservation actions.

The community you will belong to is based in Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC), home to a wide range of active, world-leading researchers making a positive impact in this field. This means that what you learn is truly cutting-edge. The MSc blends theory with practical skills so that you will gain a solid foundation in key theoretical issues, such as wildlife population dynamics and conservation biology, and develop essential field skills in species identification and sampling and monitoring of populations, alongside geospatial approaches. These skills are valued by employers in the sector.
