The curriculum provides comprehensive training in ecological concepts while equipping you with practical skills for wildlife monitoring and habitat management.

Our expansive 200-hectare countryside campus serves as an exceptional outdoor laboratory where you'll apply classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios. Many modules incorporate fieldwork on campus, such as conducting biodiversity surveys. Instruction comes from faculty with extensive backgrounds in conservation work and ecological studies.

The program features multiple immersive field study opportunities, including international trips to South Africa, southern Spain, and Pembrokeshire. These excursions allow you to examine distinctive ecosystems - from African savannas to European mountain ranges and coastal environments.

Additional domestic field trips take you to significant ecological sites across the country. First-year studies include observing native species like red deer and grey seals, along with non-native animals such as Barbary macaques.
