The BSc (Hons) Conservation and Ecology (top-up) programme aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to enter careers related to the conservation of wildlife.

You will focus on recent advances in conservation and ecological sciences; including sustainability and environmental change. You will study a range of wildlife species, developing your survey, census and management skills and a deeper understanding how conservation projects and organisations are developed and managed. Knowledge of business principles and management skills will also be developed, allowing you to work effectively at management level within a company.

Making use of the on-campus facilities, University Centre Askham Bryan has access to its own licensed and BIAZA accredited wildlife park, Askham Bryan Wildlife and Conservation Park.

With this resource on site, you have access to a fully working collection and during your study and the opportunity to take part in the conservation projects the wildlife park has underway supporting your research modules. In addition to the wildlife park on site, the York campus is located in an ideal spot for access to a range of Wildlife Trust, RSPB and local nature reserves to support you in your application of the skills developed on this degree.
