BSc in Conservation Biology and Ecology

Program Available at Cornwall (Penryn Campus)

You’ll gain knowledge and skills that are essential for working conservationists and ecologists, including wildlife identification and data handling. In the first year, we take full advantage of Cornwall’s rich landscapes with many one-day field trips around the South West Peninsula. In the second year, wider experience comes as a result of a variety of field courses in the UK and Europe, while in year three there are opportunities to go on an international field course overseas. In all these locations we teach vital identification skills and census techniques while at the same time studying local ecology and conservation issues.

• A practical and applied program that places you ‘in the field’
• Field trip modules, led by wildlife specialists, are an exciting aspect of the program
• A strong emphasis on learning practical skills including wildlife identification and data handling
• The interdisciplinary nature of the program allows you to explore the sociological, economic, and political factors affecting wildlife conservation
