This course will help you to become skilled at conserving the wildlife with which we share the planet and the habitats they live in. You’ll study why animals behave as they do, the habitats in which they live, and how humans can impact upon these for better or worse. This foundation degree takes a more vocational approach to learning than the BSc (Hons) degree, with an increased emphasis on development and learning through practical experiences.
