The profession aims to prevent the decline or extinction of species, addressing threats to wildlife, such as habitat destruction, pollution, climate change and poaching.

A wildlife conservation and protection master’s programme covers topics such as conservation biology, habitat management and wildlife policy. Entry requirements often include a relevant undergraduate degree in biology, ecology or a related field; graduates are prepared for further research or to contribute to the protection of endangered species and sustainable ecological practices with field work, consultancy or policymaking. There are 22 master’s level courses in the UK, available to study at 14 different institutions.

What to Expect
