生物多样性与保护 MSc Biodiversity and Conservation

Biodiversity is the diversity of all life on earth and is currently being lost at an increasing rate. Biodiversity provides us with food, clothing, fuels, construction materials, medicines, and a range of ecosystem services. This course is aimed at those looking to further their career in biodiversity and its conservation, for students wishing to pursue further postgraduate research in this area, and for professionals already working in conservation biology wishing to obtain relevant qualifications. The course is taught through a variety of methods including lectures, practicals, field-based learning, guided reading and discussion groups. A highlight of the course is the residential spring field course based in South Africa, focusing on practical aspects of biodiversity conservation.
