Overview

Conservation Management from Edge Hill University puts a high emphasis on practical experience in managing habitats and species and in developing biological identification skills for plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. You will undertake over 25 days of fieldwork, including a residential course, and carry out a 20-day work placement in a conservation organisation or ecological consultancy. These activities are allied to a clear theoretical framework underpinning ecology and conservation practice. We welcome applications from recent graduates, experienced consultants, conservation workers or those seeking a career change.

Careers

As an accredited degree with the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM), this MSc will equip you with the knowledge and skills required for a successful career in conservation or ecological consultancy. You will be eligible for free student membership of the CIEEM while you study, with the option to upgrade your membership at your own expense after you graduate.
