Ecology encompasses the study of organisms and their interactions with the environment, and as such, has implications for many aspects of human society and development as we tackle major global issues. This programme of study places a particular emphasis on developing your field skills, and you will have the opportunity to gain practical experience, spending a minimum of 30 days in field-based study or experimentation. You will be encouraged to interact and work with a range of employers in the field, including: Howletts and Port Lympne Zoos, Wildwood and Wingham Wildlife Park, and Natural England.
