Applied Ecology and Geospatial Techniques MRes MRes MRes

The current global threat to our ecosystems requires innovative solutions. Thats where ecologists equipped with the very latest theoretical and practical knowledge come in. Observing, understanding and predicting natural phenomena and the behaviour of taxa and ecosystems is a vital component in tackling the challenges the planet faces.<br/><br/>This course focuses on applying field techniques to survey populations and ecosystems. Youll develop advanced quantitative skills, including statistical modelling, as well as the ability to use a range of recent and emerging geospatial technologies.<br/><br/>Well get you out in the field, making a difference where it really matters. Youll join our thriving community of active learners and develop sought-after skills, turning you into the professionals at the forefront of the sector and reimagining the future with innovative solutions to real-world conservation challenges.<br/><br/>Youll study at Brackenhurst Campus - the perfect environment to put theory into practice and develop field techniques right on site.<br/><br/>You can undertake a research project using NTUs links with national and international conservation projects.<br/><br/>Get hands-on with a range of advanced software and technological tools used in ecological modelling and geospatial analysis, including remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS).<br/><br/>93% of our postgraduates from the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences are in work or further study within 15 months of finishing their degrees (of those available for work or study, latest Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020/21).
