Overview

We list Wildlife Conservation MSc because it keeps coming up in counselling sessions, and because the spread of entry terms across the UK is wider than most applicants expect. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Wildlife Conservation combines field work with laboratory analysis and policy modules. We currently work with 8 universities on this course across 8 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.500 to £25.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
