Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology with a Foundation Year
Course Summary
**Our foundation year is an excellent route into science for those either from a non-scientific background or seeking to develop their career in a new direction; it is also ideal if you're returning to education or do not meet the entry requirements for direct entry to an Honours degree.**
This course will provide you with a strong foundation in Wildlife, allowing you to develop your skills and progress onto the BSc degree programme.
The full honours degree provides you with both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to meet the challenge of saving our wildlife and wild places.
If you wish to pursue a career involving wildlife, this course is ideal as it focuses on conservation in both zoos and the wild, providing you with a wide range of experiences through close industry links to local zoos and aquariums.
One of the key features of this course is our strong emphasis on field trips – from day trips to national and overseas residential trips – as they allow you to gain real-world context for your studies. The majority of these trips are free, with students only needing to pay a modest administration fee.
Features
• The full honours degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology
• Acquire the practical skills used in wildlife conservation and zoos
• Gain a critical awareness of zoo conservation programmes and the role of zoo professionals
• A variety of field trip opportunities are on offer [small administration fee may apply]
• There are opportunities to take a placement year in the UK, Europe or worldwide
