Master of Science in Global Conservation Science

Program Overview

Solutions to the global biodiversity crisis require an appreciation of the ecological, social, economic, political, and ethical aspects of environmental challenges that influence the way in which we go about conserving the natural world.

Taught by experts in the area of global conservation science and management, this course will provide you with strong interdisciplinary expertise in managing biodiversity and natural resources with a focus on social, economic and policy aspects. Taking a global perspective, you will be trained in not only in the technical, scientific areas of biodiversity conservation, but also in the broader ethical and social issues that are part and parcel of conservation action on the ground. You will become skilled in areas such as geographic information systems (GIS), decision science and research methods. You’ll also gain first-hand practical conservation experience from one of the world’s leading conservation organisations - The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.

Through an understanding of the way that conservation projects are designed, managed, evaluated, and communicated, you will learn how to deliver effective conservation solutions in any situation. You’ll be highly employable in both the public and third sectors, for example the Wildlife Trusts, Worldwide Fund for Nature, the RSPB, and The Nature Conservancy, as well as by non-governmental organisations, where a multidisciplinary understanding of real-world problems is needed to arrive at effective solutions.

Course highlights

  • Be empowered to pursue the conservation problems that you want to solve.
  • Learn from practitioners, NGO experts and international partners from within the conservation sector.
  • Receive dedicated training in project management, fundraising, grant writing, and decision science.
  • Visit and learn from one of the world’s leading conservation organisations with our Conservation Project Management module.
  • Graduate ready to engage with all aspects of conservation work at a leadership level.
  • Facilitate your career development by gaining more extensive technical training in interdisciplinary conservation science.
