Ready for industry

Our tutors have practical experience and qualifications relevant to their particular specialism as well as staying actively involved in the study and management of ecology, the environment, wildlife, conservation, game and the countryside. Their contacts and experience will open the doors to your career in the ecology industry.

We have also established close links with a range of landowners and conservation organisations throughout the country and have unprecedented access to a wide variety of sites, so that students can experience a diversity of wildlife, habitats and their management first hand. Site visits and presentations given by visiting speakers with specific expertise are integrated into our courses, giving you a valuable insight into the industry before you join it.
