With its emphasis on CV development, some 90% of graduates from this course secure employment in the conservation/ecology sector or go on to study for a PhD. During the course, you will have the opportunity to explore the world of wildlife and its conservation through the Centre for Wildlife Assessment and Conservation (CWAC) and benefit from our proximity to a number of nature reserves and government and industrial bodies with interests relevant to the course. This course can lead to roles such as conservation officer, project manager, field ecologist or environmental consultant.
