If you are looking for career development or you are starting out on an environmental research career, this course could be the perfect choice for you.

Following intensive instruction in essential field and analytical skills such as site survey, biodiversity assessment and GIS, you will conduct an Extended Research Project, which allows the course to be tailored to your specific needs. The Extended Research Project and flexible teaching methods also make this course an attractive option if you want career enhancement but are unable to attend a conventional one-year taught course.
The course taps into the range of expertise across the Centre for Conservation Ecology & Environmental Change, with core skills in geo-informatics, conservation ecology and environmental management.

Frontiers in Conservation Science / Conservation Management /Environmental Policy & Decision Making Systems / Restoration Ecology / Developing Sound Disaster Management Policies & Plans / Disaster Risk Reduction & Response Management.
In the School of Conservation Sciences we use different learning methods from individual tutorials to formal lectures and practical sessions with a range of group sizes. From this blend of learning styles you will gain confidence and flourish in their chosen fields. Course-work is modelled on the types of tasks professionals in the field would undertake and includes the production of professional reports, empirical evaluations, team projects, and oral presentations. Professional skills are developed through group work, interaction with practitioners and via a work placement.
Located on BU’s Talbot Campus, the School of Conservation Sciences has excellent laboratory and computer facilities with high analytical equipment and a spatial analysis suite for geographical information systems, and earth observation. The School has state-of-the-art field equipment particularly for near-surface geophysics and surveying.
