Wildlife and Conservation - Foundation Degree

Activate Learning

Animals, the environment and people are interconnected. Yet animals and the environments they live in cannot speak for themselves. We need to be a voice for animals and the environment to enable our world to thrive. With more legislation being implemented to support wildlife conservation, and with sustainability roles being introduced into almost every sector, we need more people with the skills to support this important work. Embarking on Foundation Degree Wildlife and Conservation is your opportunity to gain core knowledge in this, so you can make a positive impact on the world.This course is taught at Merrist Wood College and University Centre, a 400-acre estate with ancient woodland, wetlands, livestock, threatened species, a farm, an equine centre, and our state-of-the-art Animal Management Centre – which has an animal activities licence to support students’ training. This is your live classroom for real-world learning, and we take every opportunity we can to help you put your knowledge into practice. Our lecturers have also worked and volunteered extensively in the animal industry, and their knowledge will elevate your learning experience. With guest lectures, work placement opportunities and the possibility to travel internationally too, this course will set you up for the future.
