Overview

The world is changing, and we are in a race against time to conserve what remains of the world’s wildlife. As climate and nature emergencies lead us deeper into an existential crisis, our own species faces challenges and opportunities.

The Wildlife Conservation programme offered by Bangor University assimilates a wide range of subjects to explore the most important drivers of biodiversity loss, including natural resource use, land-use change, over exploitation, invasive species, climate change, and pollution.

Careers

Graduates form this course will possess valuable transferable skills as well as subject-specific knowledge. During the course you will have given assessed presentations, designed podcasts, been interviewed, submitted written work on a variety of topics and in different formats, worked to achieve targets within agreed deadlines both on your own and as part of larger teams, conducted literature and web-based information searches, conducted quantitative analyses, and will have engaged in practical work and research relevant to your discipline.

The MSc Wildlife Conservation includes training in the use of geographical information systems, data handling and analysis to understand patterns and differences, and a whole range of practical skills in the field and in the lab, from population genetics practicals to observing wild animals in the field.

Filed visits and study tours provide opportunities to engage with professionals working on the front line of conservation, which will allow you to specifically relate classroom teaching to commercial practice. You will also have access to specific careers guidance from the University’s Employability Service.
