预科课程 基础课程是为不符合自然历史学位入学标准的申请人设计的。您将从完成基础年开始，该年提供了结构良好的支持，使您可以发展自己的科学技能和知识。成功完成基础年后，您将升读自然科学学士学位（荣誉）学位的第一年。您将研究不同的生物–如何识别它们，它们的生活史，关系，行为和保护。您还将了解塑造我们的土地，海岸线和气候的过程。自然科学史课程具有很强的实践领域元素，可让您在各种环境中获得关键技能。目前，学生们前往彭布罗克郡，葡萄牙和冰岛进行野外训练，并参加可选的博茨瓦纳探险队，在那里他们学习跟踪技能和4x4驾驶。
The foundation course is designed for applicants who do not meet the admissions criteria for the Natural History degree. Youll start by completing a foundation year, which provides well structured support, allowing you to develop your scientific skills and knowledge. Following successful completion of the foundation year, you will progress to the first year of the BSc (Hons) Natural History degree. You'll study the principles of natural history, taxonomy, ecology and biology as well as learning about the scientific research process and data analysis. The Natural History course has a strong practical field element for you to gain key skills in a range of environments. Presently, students go on field courses to Pembrokeshire, Iceland, and on the optional expedition to Botswana. Through the study of habitats and environments, you will learn to identify animal behaviour and ecological interactions. Complementing these areas are modules on digital photography and film-making, allowing you to record and communicate the wonders of the natural world that you will experience during the course.<br><br>By graduation, you will have the professional skills to work for national parks, nature reserves, environmental and planning consultancies, national and international wildlife bodies, national, regional and local government, utility companies and regulatory agencies. Your analytical skills will give you excellent prospects in research and policy development. You can even make wildlife films to gain career options in visual media and environmental education. Typical roles include: Environmental Consultant, Researcher, Video Producer, Conservation Officer/ Manager, Environmental Manager and Ecologist. Our Natural History course give students opportunities to gain practical experience and develop transferable skills to help them when they enter the world of work. For many students, a degree is an important step in achieving their career ambitions. Our courses generate motivated and able graduates with a range of key skills. They are highly valued by employers for the scope of their knowledge, and have excellent communication and critical thinking skills. Laboratory work and field projects ensure our students have strong research and team working skills. Employability skills and work-based learning are built into our natural science courses. For example, we build in the practical skills that are outlined by the professional bodies. In the second year, research and report writing skills are developed alongside field skills and the writing of field reports. The final year gives you the opportunity to undertake work-based learning and to conduct project work.
