Course content
With climate change challenging our conservation efforts, now is the time to play a role in the future of conservation by studying our MRes Wildlife Conservation course. We’re the only university in the UK offering a Masters of Research in close collaboration with a conservation organisation.
You will develop the knowledge and skills needed to become a conservation biologist, helping you to protect the future of our wildlife.
This collaborative programme is jointly delivered by the University of Southampton and Marwell Wildlife, an action orientated conservation organisation, dedicated to the conservation of biodiversity and other natural resources.
You will be taught by active conservation biologists, and undertake an eight-month research project, feeding into the wider ongoing research at Marwell, which has real-life conservation implications. Unlike other institutions you will have the opportunity to highlight three projects you have an interest in and will be assigned to a project based on your preferences before starting the programme. Project topics include: Species Integrity, Ecosystem Function and People and Nature.
You will also have the opportunity to undertake a field course to Kenya, as part of the taught component of the programme.
