Humans have drastically changed our world, and these changes are accelerating. Society faces multiple ‘wicked problems’ — complex challenges which are difficult to solve — like biodiversity loss, climate change, and ongoing poverty. We need to find better, more sustainable ways of meeting our needs for food, clean water, products and shelter. The years ahead depend on healthy ecosystems and adapting to our future climate.

On this course you’ll learn about ecology — the science behind wildlife conservation — which is one of the most important sciences needed to resolve the biodiversity crisis. But to truly have a chance of solving that crisis, you’ll also need to learn about the many connections between the natural world and human society. This course will teach you about ecology and conservation in the real world, using a range of lecture-based, practical and fieldwork teaching approaches.

Get valuable work experience

Your learning is tailored for conservation jobs, and you could also complete a paid placement year.

Study in an outdoor classroom

Our Brackenhurst Campus has 200 hectares of woods, ponds and farmland.

Pick a residential field trip

Previous trips have visited the Pembrokeshire coast and the South African savannah.

Learn from real ecologists

Our teaching team is highly experienced in practical conservation and research.

There are lots of different jobs in ecology and conservation, and you can gain experience through our work placement opportunities. Previously, our graduates have gone on to work for government organisations like Natural England and the Environment Agency; charities like the Wildlife Trusts, the RSPB, and The Living Rainforest; ecological consultants like Brindley & Green, Ecology Solutions, and Three Shires ecology; and research roles into peatlands, woodlands, and AI in ecology. For these roles, employers want degree graduates who are passionate, well-rounded, and who can think outside the box. As one of only a handful of courses that are accredited by the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management, this course will allow you to make a real difference in our world.

If you’ve got questions about our Ecology and Conservation degree, just get in touch with course leader Dr Adam Bates.

ModulesExpand all +

Principles of Ecology

Examine the interactions between organisms and their environment, at individual, population, community and ecosystem levels. Investigate the abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) factors driving population and community dynamics.

20 credits

Plants and Soil

A practical introduction to how plants and soils work, and why they’re so important for understanding habitats and managing land. You’ll learn how plants grow and adapt, explore what makes healthy soil, discover the role of the soil microbiome, and start developing your plant identification skills.

Biodiversity Conservation

Explore the amazing array of biological diversity on Earth, focusing on the abundance and distribution of species. Investigate theories addressing evolution, the causes of mass extinctions, and the conservation of species.

Ecological Census Techniques

Study how to identify plants and animals, and plan and conduct field surveys to monitor species and habitats. You will learn about the principles of surveying techniques before conducting your own field-based surveys across Brackenhurst Campus, including camera trapping, small mammal surveys, breeding bird surveys, and Phase 1 habitat surveys. These field skills are crucial for roles across the conservation sector.

Animal Structure, Function and Adaptation

Explore animal anatomy and physiology across a range of species. You'll delve into cellular biology, genetic processes, survival strategies and how animals adapt to environmental challenges in various ecosystems.

Practical Conservation Skills

Working on either the Brackenhurst Estate or on sites managed by external organisations, you will participate in a range of practical habitat management activities such as coppicing ancient woodland or managing grasslands, and identify how these management techniques can improve conditions for nature. You will develop confidence in the use of a range of tools and gain insight into creating a safe working environment.

Applied Habitat Management

Understand the ecology and habitat management of a range of the most important UK habitats via site-based evaluations. You will also learn how to create a conservation management plan, which is a key skill required when working in the conservation sector.

Land Use Ecology

Explore land uses such as farming and forestry, whose productivity is determined by the presence and products of ecological processes, and the impacts of humans upon them. How can we balance the needs of humans and wildlife in the most sustainable way?

Introduction to Research

Explore the principles of research methods, focusing on data collection, analysis, and interpretation. You'll look at experimental design, literature evaluation and hypothesis testing, preparing you for undertaking independent research as part of your final year dissertation.

Environmental Monitoring and Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

Get hands-on practical experience in environmental monitoring techniques and use geographical information systems (GIS) software to map and analyse data that you have collected in the field. This is a skillset in high demand by employers.

Law and Policy

You will be introduced to the past, present and future laws and policies relating to the environment, wildlife and conservation. You will look at a range of specific wildlife and environmental laws, the reasons that we need them, the ways in which they work, and, finally, evaluate whether they are working to protect nature and natural resources.

Technical Skills

Understand the skills needed to plan and carry out field investigations and why these skills are valued by employers. Practice planning field investigations, collecting data and understanding and presenting results during a residential field trip. Previously this has taken place in Spain.

Optional placement year
