This comprehensive course is studied in years 1-3 alongside the current Undergraduate BSc ABWC content and extends this successful provision to Masters-level study by providing a more in-depth view of the contemporary issues and techniques required of professional wildlife conservationists working both in the UK and overseas. The course is taught not only by our experienced academic staff but with the assistance of world-leading experts and conservation practitioners both in class and also in the field. In the final MSci year the content is enhanced with modules such as Advanced Survey and Monitoring Techniques and UK Protected Species Conservation and Behaviour alongside more specialised modules such as Primate Conservation and Behaviour. Through the course of your degree you will develop a diverse range of skills which can be applied not only in the formal taught modules but also in the research project and the compulsory overseas field course two aspects which are central to the more advanced aspects of MSci-level study.<br><br>This comprehensive course provides an in-depth view of the contemporary issues and techniques required of professional wildlife conservationists working both in the UK and overseas.

Where possible teaching will be undertaken through workshops and seminars so providing a more immersive environment to help develop an understanding of the operation of professional-level applied conservation skills in communication and problem solving.<br><br>The course prepares you for a role as a conservation professional working with a strong field-based component. In particular it gives you key opportunities for employment in conservation-type roles in the UK and beyond where higher-level qualifications are essential for demonstrating topic knowledge and technical competency. Such roles are found in a host of statutory and non-governmental organisations across the wildlife sector.
