ABOUT

School of Biosciences, Faculty of Science

Develop fundamental knowledge about major conservation issues and their human and environmental drivers, including marine plastics, urbanisation, tropical logging and the balance between sustainable food production and biodiversity.
 

Course description

This MSc course prepares you for a career protecting biodiversity in a range of natural, agricultural and urban ecosystems around the world. Throughout your course, you’ll be in the field learning about conservation issues and the constraints posed by budgets, policy and legislation. Through fieldwork – either in the Peak District National Park or further afield – you’ll receive training in the principles of experimental design and data collection, equipping you with the key skills to plan and manage your own conservation projects.

You’ll develop an understanding of how environmental change can impact biodiversity and how the effective management of ecosystems can positively impact both biodiversity and the ecosystem itself.

You’ll conduct an Independent Research Project, spending three months researching an area of biodiversity or conservation that matches your future career aspirations. You could be field-based, lab-based or complete a computational data-driven project, tackling topics such as urbanisation, ecosystem services, tropical deforestation, and marine conservation.

Example research projects include:

  • How is call type or structure related to site level factors in an endangered parrot?
  • The Peak District: a study system for biodiversity and management
  • Effects of increased CO2 on ecosystems
  • Traits in space and time: mobilising biodiversity data for conservation, macroecology, and macroevolution
  • Logging in tropical forests: a conservation and ecological study system

 

Modules

A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.

Core modules:

Global Conservation Issues

The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.

 

Duration

1 year full-time

Teaching

You’ll learn through a combination of fieldwork, laboratory classes, lectures, seminars and problem-solving classes.

Assessment

Most assessment is through coursework with some written examinations. Your assessment includes, but is not limited to, essays, extended project reports, policy briefing notes, online statistics exams, oral presentations and written grant proposals.

Your career

With first-hand experience of global conservation issues across animal and plant biodiversity, you’ll be well equipped to pursue a range of career opportunities in policy making, research and academia implementing positive change in this area.

Possible career paths include:

  • working on conservation or sustainability programmes within government
  • NGOs including environmental bodies or wildlife trusts
  • the private sector
  • inspiring the next generation as a university teacher
  • solving pressing problems through research in higher education.

If you choose to continue your research training, graduates will be well equipped to pursue PhDs in ecology, evolution and conservation and beyond. Doctoral Training Programmes like Adapting to the Challenges of Changing Environment (ACCE) train PhD students in these areas.
