With a shortage of marine and freshwater scientists in the UK, there’s never been a better time to study to become a future expert in the world of aquatic conservation.
So, we’ve designed you a unique course - with the guidance of professional environmental consultants and aquatic scientists - so you can study freshwater and marine conservation together in one degree.
We have worked in consultation with aquatic and environmental experts to ensure our modules cover everything you need to start your career in aquatic conservation.
You'll be guided through the wonderful range of marine and freshwater environments to be found on our planet, from upland springs and freshwater lakes, to coastal zones and deep sea trenches.
Year 1 - You’ll study 6 modules to give you a fundamental understanding of biodiversity and its conservation.
Year 2 & 3 - You'll study the processes controlling the behaviour and characteristics of aquatic habitats, their plants and animals. Plus, there’s the opportunity to get on-the-job experience in the field, with a UK or international placement.
You also get the chance to choose from a range of modules to suit your interests. But, whatever you choose, you will always benefit from laboratory-based teaching to boost your practical and analytical skills, which will enhance your chances of employment.
If you want the expertise to become successful in the conservation world, take advantage of our course and get started on a career in the aquatic sciences now.
