Loss of biodiversity is an increasing concern at national, European and global levels. Our BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology with Studies in the USA provides you with both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to meet the challenge of saving our wildlife and wild places, and offers you the chance to undertake the second year of studies in the USA. Partnering with Otterbein University in Ohio, you will study equivalent modules in the USA that will form your second year degree mark. You will be supported by a tutor based in Salford whom you will have had as your first year tutor and also by a local tutor at Otterbein. 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.
