Program Description

This course explores how humans, animals and plants interact with each other and their environment, and how this determines their abundance, distribution and the biodiversity we see on the planet. Students will learn about human impacts on ecological interactions, the climate crisis, biodiversity and sustainability, as well as what can be done to manage natural resources in the face of changing environments. 

Alongside their specialist ecology and conservation modules, from their first year students have the flexibility to study topics across the breadth of biology to complement their knowledge. Topics range from plant science, biotechnology and zoology, to neuroscience, genetics and physiology. This flexibility allows students to study ecology and conservation in greater depth, broaden their interests or even switch to another biosciences degree programme.
