Collaborate with world-leading conservation scientists and gain the knowledge, skills and practical experience needed for a successful career in conservation. Develop interdisciplinary solutions required to tackle the global biodiversity crisis. Understand the issues we face when conserving natural habitats and ecosystems upon which human communities depend.

The aim of MSc Biodiversity, Conservation, and Nature Recovery is to develop an advanced interdisciplinary understanding of the interconnections between the natural environment, ecosystems, human health, and well-being. On completion of this MSc program, graduates should be equipped with the necessary conservation skills, interdisciplinary outlook, and in-depth subject knowledge for employment in conservation-related subjects.

Taught by internationally respected researchers, this one-year programme is designed to meet the needs of conservators and science graduates wishing to expand into the exciting fields of the conservation and heritage sciences. With a focus on thought processes rather than knowledge, our aim is to produce problem-solvers and critical thinkers who can design and execute robust research which advances understanding in the sector.

Do you want to become a professional within the specialist field of historic building conservation? In this course, you'll visit many of London's fascinating historic buildings to illustrate and inform your learning. Past and ongoing works at the Historic Royal Palaces, together with several national and local heritage organisations and practitioners, are used to support your project work.

This course in MSc Architectural Conservation is fully recognised by The Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC). The course provides both a thorough understanding of architectural heritage and the skills required to contribute to the preservation and development of historic sites.

Gain the expertise to shape the future through the buildings and places we value from the past. This course puts you at the centre of historic conservation practice. You’ll be introduced to fundamental concepts and techniques and taught by leading experts from across the field.

This programme encompasses a broad range of topics and land uses. Conservation management, rural land use planning, land-use history, and more. The factors affecting the wider environment are constantly increasing and range from agriculture and forestry to recreation, urban development, and population growth. These in turn have knock-on effects such as climate change, water, and food shortages, habitat and species loss, and the impact of non-native species. One of the areas where these factors come together is in the field of wildlife and conservation management where the public use of the countryside interacts with professional land managers and can result in conflict. This programme encompasses a broad range of topics and land uses ranging from conservation management to rural land use planning and interpretation to land-use history. Applications are accepted from those either with or without specifically related previous qualifications - previous students have included graduates of History, Education, Business Management and Engineering, as well as Biological and Natural Sciences. Non-graduate entrants have included students with significant experience in aspects such as countryside rangering, town & country planning, and ecology.
