Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Wildlife Conservation Biology (with Placement year) (C182)

Earth’s sixth mass extinction is underway, driven by humans at a rate far faster than that previously achieved through natural environmental changes of the past. The Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Conservation Biology (with Placement year) will provide students with the knowledge and skills to help them contribute to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals for rebalancing life on earth by halting and reversing biodiversity loss.

This course takes a unique lens to the study of conservation and rewilding while examining the interplay between wildlife disease, behavior, crime and conflict with humans,

Through sustainable and proportionate approaches to travel, graduates also have the opportunity to study wildlife conservation biology overseas, progressing from field training in the United Kingdom to field research on game reserves in the African savannah and in the tropical rainforests of Borneo. With a focus on small classes, practical and field learning, they will be assessed entirely through coursework to gain a truly representative measure of graduate attributes sought by future employers and for postgraduate study.
