A unique multidisciplinary programme that equips the next generation of conservation scientists and managers with foundational knowledge in data science, conservation ecology, and perspectives on conservation, poverty and development within African settings and beyond. The programme draws on the strength of existing research networks in African conservation research at the University of Glasgow. Students formalise their training through an independent thesis project that addresses a conservation management problem of the students’ choice in Africa, or elsewhere.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) degree in Biology, Biological Sciences, Wildlife Management, Environmental and/or Geographical Sciences, Marine Science, Ecology, Biodiversity, Astrophysics, Social Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, and Tourism subjects.
We may sometimes accept degrees at 2.2 Hons (or non-UK equivalent), if higher scores have been achieved in the subjects listed above, or in other relevant modules.

Conservation management in universities
Government departments
