BSc (Hons) in Ecology and Conservation with Study Abroad, Lancaster University

Lancaster University's Ecology and Conservation BSc Hons program offers a comprehensive exploration of how organisms interact with their environments across the globe. Students get to learn through a mix of lectures, practicals, fieldwork, and small-group tutorials, gaining both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. The program includes exciting field trips to locations such as Spain's Doñana National Park, Scotland's natural habitats, and Kenya's Rift Valley, giving students real-world conservation exposure. The first year provides a solid foundation in ecology and conservation biology, while the second year allows students to specialise in topics of their interest. The third year is spent studying abroad at a partner university, expanding global perspectives. In the final year, students undertake independent research, focusing on subjects like animal behaviour, conservation in practice, or issues in conservation biology. The course aims to prepare students for careers that contribute to biodiversity preservation and environmental sustainability.
