Master of Conservation Biology - 2 years in Sydney Australia | Macquarie University

The continued existence of every living organism on our planet relies on healthy, well-balanced ecosystems. The loss of biodiversity leads to ecosystem collapse, which in turn affects our freshwater supplies, the quality of our air, and the lands where we cultivate crops. Protecting our natural world has emerged as a worldwide imperative, creating a need for professionals skilled in developing and executing plans to safeguard Earth's biological variety.

The Master of Conservation Biology program provides specialized training in the principles, applications, and ethical considerations of preserving wildlife, from individual species to complete ecological systems. You'll deepen your understanding of critical topics including the biological impacts of climate change, conservation efforts at local and international scales, geographic information systems, wildlife population studies, and field research techniques, while also completing a hands-on biology research project.
