MSc PGDip PGCert Biological Recording

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year (full-time) 2 to 3 years (part-time)

Masters Degree Description

Our Biological Recording and Analysis programme aims to fill important gaps in biological data across the UK, with a dedicated focus on specialist taxonomic groups that have traditionally relied on only a few experts nationwide.

It is crucial for building skills in biological recording and monitoring, which are fundamental for surveying ecological habitats. These skills are increasingly needed in the field of ecology, especially with the rise of new policy requirements in areas such as Biodiversity Net Gain and UK Habitat Classification.
