Wildlife Conservation Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

Wildlife conservation is an exciting field of study that has important implications for the way in which we manage our world. With an increasing global population, healthy and functioning ecosystems are vital for human health, wellbeing and success. We need wildlife for their ecosystem services, and conserving wildlife is becoming increasingly complex, with greater need to utilise digital technologies such as drones, camera traps and acoustic sensors. 

This Wildlife Conservation course offered by Liverpool John Moores University  will provide you with advanced skills in using conservation technology for wildlife conservation monitoring and research. Additionally, you will gain specialist skills such as complex data handling and analysis; and academic skills such as grant writing, forming collaborations and effective communications.

Employability

You will have numerous career development opportunities, including hands-on research residential and placements with conservation organisations and employers. You will work in forest, mountain and freshwater ecosystems and conduct research projects on a huge array of vertebrate and invertebrate species, survey large reforestation projects or assess the impact of wildfires in the region.

Taking the academic, practical skills and field connections you have gained during this exclusive programme, you will be prepped to progress in your career in the UK and abroad. Roles within NGOs, environmental consultancy and environmental government bodies could be the next natural step.

The academic staff leading this course conduct research in wildlife conservation. Your programme leaders uphold a wide range of international and national connections that can provide exciting opportunities for you during and after the course.
