Course summary

Delivered over three days per week, this industry‑focused Animal Science and Wildlife Conservation programme offers a dynamic and applied route into careers across wildlife conservation, and animal‑related sectors. The programme is structured around five 15‑credit modules and two 30‑credit modules, providing a balanced blend of scientific theory, practical experience, and specialist knowledge.

Students will explore a wide range of subjects designed to build a strong scientific foundation in Wildlife Conservation, Countryside Management, and Animal Sciences. The curriculum highlights the importance of sustainability across both marine and terrestrial environments, with dedicated focus on Wildlife Protection, Habitat Management, Ecology and the science behind protecting global biodiversity.

The programme also integrates key areas of animal health, welfare, and disease, giving learners a holistic understanding of the interconnected nature of conservation and animal science. Through engaging fieldwork and classroom-based activities, students will develop essential practical skills and enhance their abilities to research, analyse, present, and interpret scientific data.

For added flexibility, individuals may choose to study only the modules that align directly with their career aspirations or continuing professional development (CPD) goals, rather than completing the entire programme.
