Course summary

The world faces unprecedented environmental challenges, which threaten the future of plants, animals and people. You'll focus on ecological concepts, the natural world, and how we conserve it, through exploring community and ecosystem ecology of habitats, plants and the people who use them.

This course will help you explore practical solutions to these problems, through a range of lectures, practicals and fieldwork, preparing you for a career in ecology and conservation.

You will study the ecology of plants, animals and land use, the conservation of organisms and the management of habitats. You will examine environmental impact assessment and global food security issues. You will learn highly-valued ecology and conservation skills like species identification, environmental law, and the application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). You will develop an understanding of the social and economic issues which underpin pressing environmental problems. You will also have the chance to tailor your studies, by choosing optional modules to focus on your particular area of interest in the final year.
