Course summary
Overview
Focus on the area of Primate Conservation that you’re passionate about - and learn directly from internationally renowned conservation researchers.
On this course, you’ll gain a deep knowledge of conservation biology and primates. You’ll shape your learning experience around your interests - whether that’s habitat loss, the illegal wildlife trade or population management. You’ll collaborate on meaningful conservation projects and you’ll undertake fieldwork on a topic you care about - within our network of field sites in over 40 countries.
You’ll work directly with internationally acclaimed tutors who carry out world-leading research across Asia, South America and Africa, including Madagascar. Your tutors have unparalleled expertise on primates, and you can specialise in the topic of your choice within species like:
Great apes
Gibbons
Asian, African and American Monkeys
Lorises and galagos
Lemurs
Tarsiers
You’ll emerge with the skills to start or accelerate your career in conservation biology.
Career Prospects
You’ll graduate with the skills and knowledge to launch or accelerate your career in animal conservation - as a practitioner, advocate or researcher.
You’ll benefit from our close links with conservation organisations and NGOs, in the UK and globally, including:
- Borneo Nature Foundation
- Monitor
- Twycross Zoo
- Sumatran Orangutan Society
Our graduates progress to careers ranging from starting their own NGOs, to Education Officers in zoos or researchers at universities. And during your course, you’ll be able to connect with leading specialists and alumni from organisations like the BBC Natural History Unit, Great Apes Survival Partnership, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
When you finish your course, you’ll join a supportive network of Oxford Brookes graduates who work across all areas of conservation. You’ll also have the option to continue your studies by enrolling on our own PhD programme, or others in the UK or globally.
Students can also exit with Pgdip/PgCert awards.
