Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation Science (with Foundation Year)
Program Overview
The natural world is as fragile as it is fascinating. If you share our passion for understanding and conserving nature and wildlife, this course is ideal for you, and opens the door to many established and emerging careers.
The Foundation Year allows students with less science-oriented backgrounds a pathway into the BSc (Hons) Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation Science degree. Students study essential study skills in the sciences, essential principles of biology, and ecology. Additionally, students receive practical training in field research skills, taking advantage of the biodiverse reserves and natural environments around Suffolk.
This course will give you the opportunity to study zoology, ecology, environmental and conservation science, in one of the UK’s renowned wildlife hotspots. You will learn specialist skills such as wildlife surveying, GIS mapping, primatology and ornithology, with opportunities to travel to the Scottish Highlands, South Africa and the Peruvian Amazon.
Unlike similar existing degrees, this is a multidisciplinary course that will also provide you with a firm foundation in modern biology and laboratory research techniques to equip you with the skills required to pursue careers in emerging new areas.
This course enables you to share your passion for understanding and conserving nature and wildlife and opens the door to many established and emerging careers. We draw on a range of related disciplines to bring the subject to life, covering aspects of animal and plant ecology, marine and freshwater biology, animal behaviour, and environmental and conservation science.
While at the University of Suffolk you will benefit from close working relationships with a highly qualified and research active international teaching team and interact with numerous wildlife and conservation organisations, including Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Colchester Zoo, the RSPB, the Environment Agency, and the Field Studies Council (FSC).
The course aligns with the criteria for future accreditation with the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) and the Royal Society of Biology and addresses the current knowledge and skills shortages within the sector, as identified by CIEEM and the Natural Environment Research Council.
