Conservation Biology focuses on
the skills you need to explore strategies for conserving biodiversity in the
face of rapid increases in human impacts on the planet. You build on expertise
in ecology, zoology, plant and soil science, evolution and genetics. You learn
about the arguments and the effectiveness of different approaches to
conservation and develop a conceptual and practical understanding of
conservation. You explore a diversity of case studies in Scotland and
internationally to examine the diversity of approaches ranging from the
conservation of threatened species to the challenges of working inside and
outside of protected areas. Conservation Biology is naturally
cross-disciplinary. You graduate with a deep understanding of the underpinning
principles of conservation, an awareness of the range of arguments for and
against different strategies, links to a range of practitioners and policy
advisors, and quantitative skills useful for managing wildlife and threatened
species.
Career Path
Many career possibilities are
open to graduate conservation biologists leading to employment in conservation
agencies, National Parks, national and international NGOs, environmental
consultancy, environmental protection agencies, environmental law,
environmental education, industry, local government environmental departments
and research.
