The challenges relating to sustainability, climate change and the environment as a whole are growing in urgency. Wildlife and conservation is central to this, and more people are needed with the relevant skills to support local, national and global efforts to protect the planet. With more legislation being implemented to support wildlife conservation, and with sustainability roles being introduced into almost every sector, there are broadening opportunities for employment in this area. Embarking on the BSc (Hons) Wildlife and Conservation (Top-Up) is your opportunity to turn your love of nature and wildlife into expertise that will make a difference.
This course is taught at Merrist Wood, a 400-acre estate with ancient woodland, wetlands, livestock, threatened species, a farm, an equine centre, and our Animal Management Centre – which has an animal activities licence to support students’ training. This is your live classroom for real-world learning, and we take every opportunity we can to help you put your knowledge into practice. Our lecturers have also worked and volunteered extensively in the animal industry, and their knowledge will elevate your learning experience. With guest lectures, work placement opportunities and the possibility to travel and visit various animal-related businesses, this course will set you up for the future.
Following on from the Foundation Degree Wildlife and Conservation, the BSc (Hons) Wildlife and Conservation (Top-Up) is a top-up programme that can be completed in one year (full-time) or two years (part-time). During this programme you will gain in-depth knowledge of behavioural ecology, learn more about creating a sustainable future, and develop your understanding of conservation technologies and communicating about science. You will also complete an-depth research project on a topic of your choice.
