Course summary

The world is changing, and we are in a race against time to conserve what remains of the worlds wildlife. As climate and nature emergencies lead us deeper into an existential crisis, our own species faces challenges and opportunities. Our MSc Wildlife Conservation will help you develop tools and knowledge to design and implement effective, evidence-based, and crucially equitable, conservation projects. These skills are needed more than ever by industry, government, and society. The programme assimilates a wide range of subjects to explore the most important drivers of biodiversity loss, including natural resource use, land-use change, over exploitation, invasive species, climate change, and pollution.

You will explore how technology, research, behavioural change, economic policies, government regulations, and a robust scientific approach can be combined into a unified approach to tackle the worlds greatest threats to wildlife. Prifysgol Bangor University has a strong focus on conservation research and enjoys close links with local, national, and international organisations that employ conservation scientists, helping us to ensure that the MSc Wildlife Conservation is relevant and up to date. Bangor is surely one of the most ideally located universities for you to study wildlife conservation - with access to a wide range of natural environments ranging from the coast to the varied landscape of Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri (Snowdonia National Park).

Careers

Graduates form this course will possess valuable transferable skills as well as subject-specific knowledge. During the course you will have given assessed presentations, designed podcasts, been interviewed, submitted written work on a variety of topics and in different formats, worked to achieve targets within agreed deadlines both on your own and as part of larger teams, conducted literature and web-based information searches, conducted quantitative analyses, and will have engaged in practical work and research relevant to your discipline.

The MSc Wildlife Conservation includes training in the use of geographical information systems, data handling and analysis to understand patterns and differences, and a whole range of practical skills in the field and in the lab, from population genetics practicals to observing wild animals in the field. Filed visits and study tours provide opportunities to engage with professionals working on the front line of conservation, which will allow you to specifically relate classroom teaching to commercial practice. You will also have access to specific careers guidance from the Universitys Employability Service.
