Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science - BSc(Hons)
Why study BSc(Hons) Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science?
Conserving biodiversity and avoiding the mass extinction of species are huge global challenges. Designed for students with a science and/or geography background and with specific interests in species and habitat conservation, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science at UWE Bristol will equip you with the scientific knowledge and skills to understand the nature of global biodiversity, the effects of habitat loss and climate change, and current and novel scientific approaches to conserving wildlife.
Why study our course?
Created in collaboration with Bristol Zoo Gardens, with unique access to the zoo's facilities and expertise, BSc(Hons) Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science at UWE Bristol explores wildlife conservation issues at local, national and global levels. Mixing theory with extensive practice, you will gain a deep understanding of the relationship between wildlife and society, the impact of human activities on the living world, and an appreciation of the practical steps that can be taken to alleviate biodiversity decline, preparing you for a career in conservation.
Real-world experience
The course has a strong practical focus with built-in work experience, making use of a wide range of habitats close to Bristol, including the Severn Estuary, the Cotswolds woodlands and grasslands, the Somerset Levels, Avon Gorge, and our links with local conservation organisations. Throughout the course, you will have the chance to undertake placements, volunteering roles, field-based work and residential trips in the UK and abroad. If you choose the sandwich course option, your third year will be spent on work placement in this country, Europe or further afield, applying your knowledge to real-world conservation issues.
