Wildlife Conservation

The world is changing, and we are in a race against time to conserve what remains of the world’s wildlife. As climate and nature emergencies lead us deeper into an existential crisis, our own species faces challenges and opportunities. Our MSc Wildlife Conservation will help you develop tools and knowledge to design and implement effective, evidence-based, and crucially equitable, conservation projects. These skills are needed more than ever by industry, government, and society. The programme assimilates a wide range of subjects to explore the most important drivers of biodiversity loss, including natural resource use, land-use change, over exploitation, invasive species, climate change, and pollution.

You will explore how technology, research, behavioural change, economic policies, government regulations, and a robust scientific approach can be combined into a unified approach to tackle the world’s greatest threats to wildlife. Prifysgol Bangor University has a strong focus on conservation research and enjoys close links with local, national, and international organisations that employ conservation scientists, helping us to ensure that the MSc Wildlife Conservation is relevant and up to date. Bangor is surely one of the most ideally located universities for you to study wildlife conservation - with access to a wide range of natural environments ranging from the coast to the varied landscape of Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri (Snowdonia National Park).
