Course content

Earth is currently experiencing multiple unsustainable, anthropogenic demands that are causing extreme pressures on global processes and resources and are negatively impacting our ecosystems. Biodiversity is declining faster now than at any time in human history.

Effective conservation management needs suitably qualified staff to lead and manage projects, as well as to research and report on the impacts of interventions. Entering the Anthropocene places an even greater demand for conservation managers to possess up-to-date knowledge and understanding on current biological priorities whilst being able to effectively implement and manage conservation actions. This MSc programme provides you with the essential knowledge, skills and competencies that are required for a modern-day conservation leader/manager to perform at the highest level.
