MSc Environmental Biology: Conservation and Resource Management
COURSE OVERVIEW
The MSc in Environmental Biology: Conservation & Resource Management explores relationships between living organisms and terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments.
You investigate interactions resulting from natural and anthropogenic processes, benefiting from advanced training in the interpretation of local and global environmental issues.
This course provides the skills and confidence to work in related fields such as environmental management and conservation.
YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY: CONSERVATION & RESOURCE MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE
Over the course of this MSc you develop the skills needed to confidently work in areas such as conservation, environmental impact assessment, environmental management, monitoring and education.
You foster an objective, scientific and realistic approach to environmental biological issues you may have to face later in your career.
Our state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities include the Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research consisting of controlled environment laboratories, with programmable recirculating aquatic systems; a custom-designed 18 metre catamaran-class survey vessel, and a globally unique visualisation centre that displays multi-dimensional information from animal tracking data.
Influential connections with international and national organisations such as Natural Resources Wales, The British Mammal Society and The National Wetlands Centre Wales will add value to your studies.
