Global Wildlife Health and Conservation

The curriculum covers surveillance, epidemiology, and control of wildlife diseases, and the ‘One Health’ approach, integrating animal, human, and environmental health. These concepts are vital for tackling emerging diseases and preventing pandemics.

You will learn ecological surveying techniques and gain knowledge in using new technology, such as GIS, remote sensing, and Species Distribution Models, to address wildlife conservation issues. Additionally, you'll be introduced to effective conservation principles and practices to combat biodiversity loss and climate change.

You’ll develop advanced research skills that may be used to progress to a PhD and/or academic career, if you choose to do so.
