The rapid decline of global biodiversity has made wildlife conservation a crisis discipline. This has led to growing local, national and international demand for specialists with academic and practical wildlife conservation skills. This postgraduate course provides an opportunity to learn from conservation- and research-active scientists with UK and international experience.
At Chester, they aim to build on and consolidate students' existing skills/knowledge, and offer exposure to advanced concepts and practical applications in wildlife conservation. This will be done through exploration of expertise in field and lab-based research on key species and habitats, in the UK and further afield.
Staff are engaged in pioneering projects locally, nationally and globally, and have led the development of wildlife crime as an academic subject area. They are also involved in conservation of globally threatened species such as the Trinidad piping guan, Grenada dove and Philippine duck.
Students will be engaged in a peer-based learning environment that includes field and lab work, which will provide insights into key research in wildlife conservation. At Chester, they will also focus on the development of students' professional skills and profile for their future career, and encourage links and networking opportunities with practitioners in the field.
