MSc - Conservation Management

University of Cumbria

Our new MSc Conservation Management programme meets the growing demands for professional conservation scientists to address global environmental challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Your learning will be based in the heart of the Lake District National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site), providing a unique environmental and cultural context to view current and future challenges, as well as direct access to a rich diversity of habitats, including lakes, rivers, uplands and temperate rainforest. Individual modules focus on state-of-the-art approaches and perspectives across different elements of conservation, including the latest digital technologies, e.g. remote biodiversity monitoring methods, and close partnerships with conservation employers in the region.

MSc graduates will complete the programme with the appropriate specialist knowledge, understanding and skills needed for professional practice within the sector - locally, nationally, and internationally. The expertise gained in applied conservation, ecological research, and management skills, will make them well-suited for roles in conservation, academia, government, NGOs, and private sectors.
