Taught by award-winning staff, you will learn the natural science aspects of conservation including ecology, wildlife management, biology, genetics and species reintroduction through significant lab-based and field-based components. Explore the human aspect of conservation including community development, human-wildlife conflict and policy, and develop your own understanding of what needs to be done, so, upon graduation, you can make a real difference in tomorrow's world.
During our extensive range of field trips, you will take advantage of Kent's rich landscapes, our beautiful green campus, and could venture to the forests and beaches of Costa Rica on our tropical field course.
Train in field ecology methods, and gain knowledge on the human dimensions of conservation, international biodiversity frameworks, climate change and work with rural communities. Acquire the skill of collecting data to understand threats to biodiversity, establish conservation priorities, and inform decision-making.
This degree programme is taught by academic staff from across the School, including the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) research centre. DICE is a leading international research and training centre dedicated to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems around the world.
