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.

It has never been more important to understand biodiversity and how we can protect it. Throughout this course you will explore mechanisms for maintaining and enhancing biodiversity in the face of the unprecedented declines caused by human activity and climate change.

This programme in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health will prepare you for a career in conservation, or help existing wildlife and conservation professionals to secure senior roles in specialist areas. Many of our graduates realise their ambitions to change careers, or to take a more active role in promoting the value of nature in their communities and workplaces.

Led by highly qualified, research-active lecturers, our MSc Wildlife Conservation will build your knowledge and practical skills to tackle complex issues surrounding our biodiversity crisis. You’ll study on our green Peel Park campus, minutes from Manchester city centre giving you the best of campus and city living.
