Advance your knowledge of conservation, ecology and biodiversity to find effective solutions in securing the world's biological diversity.

This 6-month program will show you how to use science to support conservation strategies and policies. It integrates conservation, ecology and biodiversity – with a focus on the problems of restoring and maintaining viable populations of animal and plant species, and natural and managed ecosystems – so you can better confront complex conservation problems.

To help you organise your study around professional and personal commitments, this program provides domestic students with the flexibility to complete their studies part-time in 12 months.

You'll deepen your understanding of aspects of biodiversity and conservation, environmental philosophy, national and international conservation policy, and systematic conservation decision-making processes.

This program is suitable for botany, ecology, evolution, or zoology graduates seeking further education in conservation issues.
