Students focus on the latest thinking, methodology, and practices in ecology and conservation, guided by the teaching team’s research expertise. Students will also gain a synthetical overview of the relevant societal, environmental, and climate change issues underpinning the fields of ecology and conservation. They will develop knowledge of the latest nature-based solutions to address climate change and the biodiversity crisis, state-of-the-art molecular tools to identify invasive or endangered organisms, and key analytical chemistry techniques for detecting and addressing environmental pollution.
The high-quality teaching is delivered by research active staff alongside Teesside University's professional partners in the ecology and conservation sector, ensuring the course content is topical, relevant and real-world.
Students undertake educational field trips, as well as assessments where they collect, analyse and interpret real-life data, identifying solutions to key challenges. Working with the Industry Nature Conservation Association they gain experience in the conservation of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Tees estuary. This is just one example of how Teesside University's research and collaborative relationships underpin their teaching.
Students can choose a research project that aligns with and contributes to planned or ongoing activities in wider teams of researchers and collaborators. This exposes them to more realistic practices of research, developing more impactful projects.
