M.Sc Biodiversity & Land-Use Planning via blended learning
Course Overview
This Master of Science (MSc) course provides you with the crucial skills and knowledge needed to manage biodiversity resources sustainably. The program’s objectives are:
To integrate an international perspective and new research findings into a biodiversity and land use approach
To provide research-led opportunities that will help find solutions for conservation and planning conflicts
To develop expertise within the local authority and public/private sector staff so they can meet international biodiversity and conservation obligations
This part-time course extends over 24 months and runs in two-year cycles continuously from September through to the end of August of the second year. The modular course is devoted to scientific and policy coursework delivered in a blended learning format, comprising a mixture of face-to-face contact in addition to private study combined with online support.
Aimed at individuals employed in the conservation, planning and engineering sectors, this course has been re-developed to meet the needs of working graduates who wish to upskill or change careers. Provision of flexible learning opportunities is a key aim of this program and the course is now open to students wishing to join the programme at any time during the academic year. To do this, prospective students register and pay for individual modules in a ‘select and pay-as-you-go’ fashion. Credits for modules taken may be accumulated over a period of up to six years.
