Zoo Conservation Biology

Summary

Zoos play a crucial role in animal conservation. Whether they’re carrying out important research into animal behaviour and welfare, taking part in breeding programmes, educating the public or advising policymakers, they are important players in international conservation.    
 
By studying our masters in zoo conservation biology, you can play your part too. You’ll develop expertise in the science which underpins the management and maintenance of captive populations and explore the links with species conservation on a global scale.   
   
The main core module is Zoo Conservation, which we deliver with the help of our partners at Chester Zoo; giving you unique insight into the zoo’s collections and facilities. There are also opportunities to participate in an overseas field trip*. This could take you across Europe, Turkey or even Tanzania in East Africa. You’ll usually have a choice between two destinations – additional fees will apply if you decide to choose to go on the East African trip. Alternatively, you could apply for a three-month work placement at a zoo or aquarium. 
   
This all then feeds back into your research project, where you’ll combine your own data collection with background research and data analysis, communicating your findings in a comprehensive dissertation.   
  
*All overseas field courses are subject to any international travel restrictions and/or availability. There may be additional costs for all overseas trips, such as the costs associated with getting travel visas
