Wildlife and Conservation Management

The MSc Wildlife and Conservation Management combines a broad understanding of the science and management of conservation, putting emphasis on integrating specialist knowledge and practical skills with IT and communication. What’s more, our extensive and exciting fieldwork programme will train you in a wide range of environmental survey and assessment techniques. We’re looking for students passionate about the natural world and protecting wildlife, in the UK and internationally. Whether you’re already on the path to your dream job or changing career direction, we’ll support you into conservation and ecology. Full-time students spend 9-15 hours per week in workshops, seminars, practical sessions and fieldwork, typically delivered over two days. Part-time students attend the equivalent of one day per week, generally completing the course in two years. You’ll learn using a combination of lectures, laboratory sessions, problem solving tutorials, video presentations and practical workshops.

You’ll work independently on set tasks and learning activities delivered via our online learning environment. You will also undertake fieldwork excursions within the UK and potentially overseas (additional costs apply).
