New for September 2023, the BSc (Hons) Conservation and Community Engagement equips students with the knowledge and skills to collaborate with local communities and develop successful projects anywhere in the world.
The programme combines theory and practical skills from both the environmental and social sciences. Students will learn to develop and engage viable conservation work, and at the same time learn key skills in science communication and human behaviour change.
Designed to meet the diverse needs of the evolving landscape, the course encourages practical application of acquired knowledge. Students will gain a systematic understanding of biodiversity and conservation science, develop their knowledge of a range of conservation issues, both locally and internationally, and develop practical skills in habitat and wildlife evaluation and management. Students will also develop skills to support education, communication and behaviour change.
