  • Deepen your knowledge of conservation by carrying out work in natural habitats close to Bristol, including the Severn Estuary, the Cotswolds woodlands and grasslands, the Somerset Levels and Avon Gorge.
  • Tap into our many links with local conservation organizations, and go on placements, volunteering and where possible, field-based work and residential trips in the UK and overseas.
  • Choose our sandwich course option to spend your third year on a work placement in this country, Europe or further afield, applying your knowledge to topical conservation issues.
  • Explore the steps that can be taken to alleviate biodiversity decline, and get the strong foundation you need for a career in conservation.

Where can it take me?

  • You'll be well prepared to go into a wide range of jobs. You could work in national and international wildlife conservation, conservation consultancy, media and wildlife film-making, wildlife and enterprise, or wildlife conservation research.
