The Bachelor of Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology) programme is centered on creating real-world solutions to global wildlife and conservation challenges. You will acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in wildlife ecology, biodiversity, fire ecology, and more. This also develops hands-on skills through regular fieldwork and an annual remote field studies camp. By engaging in work placements and work-integrated learning, you will gain valuable industry experience that prepares you for your future career.
