Course summary

This MSc will give you advanced knowledge and skills in conservation biology. Our campus is in the Brighton and Lewes Downs UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and surrounded by the South Downs National Park. Here you’ll gain an advanced, global outlook on conservation and will be ready to help solve the challenges of change in the modern world. Learn about the positive approaches conservation biologists use to address conservation challenges, and have the chance to take part in unique research in the field. We are part of the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP). This provides an excellent interdisciplinary research environment spanning the School of Life Sciences, the School of Global Studies, Sussex Law School, SPRU – Science Policy Research Unit and the Institute of Developmental Studies. We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
