Course summary

Wildlife populations across the planet have declined by nearly 70% since 1970. There is growing recognition that conservation efforts need to be more effective and better targeted to help slow, and reverse, the loss of biodiversity. Conservation specialists with excellent knowledge of ecology and an appreciation of the socio-economic factors which underpin successful conservation are needed to meet these challenges.

Our new Wildlife Ecology and Conservation draws on years of dedicated research and teaching expertise in terrestrial ecology and conservation and marine ecology and conservation . Here at Bangor University you will gain detailed understanding of wide ranging and interlinked aspects of ecology and conservation - with an emphasis on terrestrial and marine environments. Important themes include ecology and evolution, as well as behaviour change, evidence-based conservation, human-wildlife coexistence, and international conservation policy.

Our location, nestled between the Menai Strait and Snowdonia National Park, offers unrivalled opportunities for learning about ecology and conservation outside the classroom. We run practical classes in a wide variety of habitats (from the coast to the mountains) and in a variety of conservation settings (from zoos to nature reserves). We run optional field courses in tropical conservation which makes use of our decades of international collaborations in tropical regions.

Careers

Graduates from this course will develop practical skills associated with laboratory and/or field situations highly sought after by employers, including: the ability to plan, implement a scientific research, collect the necessary data safely and ethically, perform the relevant statistical analysis, and report on results in a concise, clear and precise manner. You will also be able to properly formulate research questions, to identify appropriate methods for answering them, and to use scientific and social information to inform decision making and management.

Relevant future careers may include environmental managers, ecologists or conservation advisors in terrestrial and aquatic contexts, in the UK and overseas. Or, you may choose to pursue further study and research.

It is possible to take the course as either a three-year degree or over four years with a placement year working with a relevant conservation organisation in the UK or overseas.
