Animal & Conservation Biology, BSc (Hons)

This programme in Animal and Conservation Biology prepares students for careers in wildlife conservation by examining how animals adapt to their environments and interact with one another. It covers the diversity of animals, their form, function, evolution, and adaptations in ecology, behaviour, and physiology.Students will apply this knowledge to guide conservation efforts and evaluate the impacts of pollution and climate change. With access to Edinburgh's rich biodiversity, participants will gain fieldwork experience through visits to local scientific sites and residential trips, such as to the Algarve. Upon completion, graduates will possess skills in species identification, field surveying, and biological data collection and analysis, enabling careers in conservation or further postgraduate study.
