Overview

You will learn about current concepts and issues involved in conservation biology, and achieve a wider appreciation of the roles that veterinarians can have in this field. The programme aims to broaden the employability of veterinarians by providing knowledge and interdisciplinary skills relevant to a wide range of conservation and research-related careers. Our Veterinary Conservation Medicine programme is available to both University of Liverpool and external intercalating students. 

Key Features

• The Veterinary Conservation Medicine programme, at the University of Liverpool, delivers a broad introduction to the fundamental principles of conservation biology. Through small group work, you will engage with a range of current issues at the interface between wildlife conservation and the health and welfare of animals in the wild and in zoos.

• An individually-tailored research project will constitute a significant part of the course, providing you with robust, scientific skills in research design, implementation and interpretation. You will also have the option either to conduct an investigation of animal welfare and management at Chester Zoo, focusing on a species of particular interest to you or to arrange an external work-experience placement at a conservation-related establishment of your choice.
