Conservation and Rural Development MSc

Study different natural and social science approaches to conservation through formal academic training and practical field conservation. Benefit from our links with The Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE), a leading research centre, that develops highly employable graduates within government, NGOs and the private sector.

You will gain an interdisciplinary perspective on conservation issues drawing on over 30 years of DICE expertise on what it takes for effective conservation where local communities also rely on natural resource use. You'll have the chance to specialise in managing protected areas, ecotourism and rural development, population and evolutionary biology, and international wildlife trade.
