Biodiversity and Wildlife Conservation (with Foundation Year)

Wildlife is in decline around the world due to human impact. If you’re eager to solve global conservation and animal issues, our Biodiversity and Wildlife Conservation (with Foundation Year) degree is for you.

You’ll begin with a foundation year to develop your academic skills and prepare for degree-level study. After passing this, you'll progress onto the Biodiversity and Wildlife Conservation degree, where you'll develop the skills to tackle the urgent global ecological crisis. Our teaching staff, with their real-world experience, will train you in the evolutionary origins, ecology, behaviour, and conservation of wildlife.

This degree gives you real-life employability skills. We’ll prepare you for conservation roles around the world, including in countries where trained conservationists are in short supply.

We’re proud of our nurturing environment with good connections between staff and students. You’ll benefit from research-active tutors and small group sizes.
