BSc (Hons) in Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation Science (with Foundation Year), University of Suffolk

If you're passionate about understanding and conserving wildlife, this course offers a comprehensive exploration of zoology, ecology, and conservation science. The Foundation Year is designed for students with less science-focused backgrounds, helping them develop essential skills in biology and ecology, with practical training in field research. The program is set in a biodiverse region of Suffolk and provides opportunities to study wildlife surveying, GIS mapping, primatology, and ornithology, with potential trips to the Scottish Highlands, South Africa, and the Peruvian Amazon. The course is multidisciplinary, combining modern biology, laboratory techniques, and conservation strategies, all taught by a highly qualified team with links to organizations like Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Colchester Zoo, and the RSPB. It also aligns with future accreditation standards and addresses sector skills shortages, preparing students for both established and emerging careers in wildlife and conservation.
