About Masters Wildlife Conservation and Protection in England

Wildlife conservation and protection involves the management of ecosystems and the promotion of sustainable practices to maintain biodiversity and safeguard the Earth's diverse flora and fauna. p>

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

Students explore a variety of topics such as conservation biology, habitat management and wildlife policy. A full-time master’s course typically lasts for one year and culminates in a final dissertation project, however there are also options to study for two years on a part-time basis. Assessment methods include extensive fieldwork, biological studies, data analysis and written essays.

Students have options to specialise in a particular area of conservation, which could include a specific wildlife species, a specific habitat or biome, an area like sustainable development practices or policymaking. This can set the precedent for future study or form the basis of a career pathway.
