PG Cert Applied Wildlife Forensics

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    1-2 years (part-time)

Course Description

Conservation of wildlife has become ever more urgent in today’s world. With this comes a rapidly growing demand for people with highly developed academic and practical skills to apply to this problem at local, national and international levels.

We offer this novel area of wildlife conservation in a short programme to update or further develop your existing skills. This will be done through exploration of our expertise in field and lab-based research.

Our staff are passionately involved in pioneering projects, including welfare assessment for conservation, and have helped to lead the development of Wildlife Forensics as an academic subject area, having held the first international conference in October 2010. You will have the opportunity to work closely with staff in this exciting area.

Teaching will mainly take place over intensive residential schools, and includes lectures, lab sessions, group work and tutorials. Each module is also supported by a comprehensive handbook to assist with self-directed learning.

Entry Requirements

  • Applicants should normally possess a 2:1 degree in a relevant area (or demonstrate equivalent experience in a related field, e.g. forensics, wildlife conservation, habitat or protected areas management, or ex situ conservation).
  • Relevant previous experience in the field is expected.
  • An interview may also be required.
