- A complete span from ecological theory through to practical site assessments and conservation interventions. - Key concepts and challenges in conservation, including legislative and NGO contexts, and ‘horizon-scanning’ for future threats. - Practical training in core field skills, including the latest survey technologies (e.g. drones, eDNA), allied with the ecological principles for monitoring ecosystems, detecting species declines and diagnosing their causes. - Extensive field-based, small group teaching both in the UK and overseas (e.g. Borneo, Caribbean) and opportunities for placements with a range of stakeholders. Depending upon module choice, students may spend nearly a month in the field aside from their research project, which could itself be field based. - Reaching out to scientific colleagues, stakeholders and the wider public through a dedicated science communication module - Advanced data handling, analysis and visualisation (‘data science’). - Carrying out environmental impact assessments and writing management plans to conserve species and protected sites. - Regular contributions from leading external experts and thinkers in conservation.
