Course summary
Due to the urgent need to document, understand and ultimately prevent the decline of biodiversity, graduate ecologists are in high demand. The Ecology degree at Aberystwyth University aims to provide you with the academic knowledge and practical skills to meet this demand.On the Ecology degree, you will study the interactions between organisms and their environment, building the essential foundation on which to develop your understanding of how wildlife will respond to current and future environmental threats, including pollution, climate change, invasive species and habitat destruction.Our aim is to train you to be part of the next generation of ecologists who will respond to environmental threats, identify solutions and help conserve biodiversity into the future.At Aberystwyth you will be studying in an area rich in a variety of stunning landscapes, providing excellent fieldwork opportunities in natural and semi-natural habitats and ecosystems including the Cardigan Bay coastline, freshwater environments, woodlands, heaths, moorland and alpine habitats. Many nature reserves are within easy reach, including Snowdonia (Eryri) and the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) National Parks. Fieldwork and practical classes form an integral part of the course throughout, and you'll engage with local fieldwork using a wealth of local habitats. You'll also have the option of an eight-day residential field course in Ireland.Overseas field courses are available too, depending on module choice, enabling you to learn about tropical ecology first-hand.
