Overview

At University of East Anglia , you’ll benefit from instruction by world-leading experts from our schools of biological and environmental sciences. Ecology and Conservation with a Year Abroad (Hons) 's unique approach to ecology and conservation will see you learning in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field from your first year through to your capstone research project.

You’ll explore topics ranging from the molecular genetics of populations, plant science and animal behaviour, to environmental management, biodiversity and conservation – and explore some of these within a socio-economic and political context.

Your third year will see you travel to Australasia, North America or Europe, where you’ll live and study, immersed in a new culture with its intriguing ecological differences. This is an incredible opportunity to expand your thinking, make valuable connections with partner universities and see the world. You'll then return to UEA to complete the final year of your degree.
