Course Description

One of the most confronting issues facing biologists is the need to reduce the increasing extinction rates of our animal and plant species.

Gain a full understanding of the interaction between genetics, evolutionary and conservation biology We will help you achieve this by training you in ecology, genetics, evolutionary biology, conservation and ecosystem management, giving you the tools you need to provide the kind of objective scientific data and professional advice our governments and communities need to make better decisions going forward. Learn from our passionate and dedicated teaching staff and community Our teaching staff and student community share your commitment to conservation and wildlife and are ready to spur you on as you begin your journey. Our well-established open-door policy also enables us to be available to help you whenever you need support and encouragement. You will also have plenty of opportunity to get hands-on experience in our laboratory-based classes, as well learning how to develop field-based research through our 1-week field trip on the ecology unit.
