Overview

Key facts

You’ll begin with a foundation year to develop your academic skills and prepare for degree-level study. After passing this, you'll progress onto the Biodiversity and Wildlife Conservation degree, where you'll develop the skills to tackle the urgent global ecological crisis. Our teaching staff, with their real-world experience, will train you in the evolutionary origins, ecology, behaviour, and conservation of wildlife.
This degree gives you real-life employability skills. We’ll prepare you for conservation roles around the world, including in countries where trained conservationists are in short supply.
We’re proud of our nurturing environment with good connections between staff and students. You’ll benefit from research-active tutors and small group sizes.
The need is obvious, so join us at Oxford Brookes to learn the skills to make a difference. The Biodiversity and Wildlife Conservation (with Foundation Year) programme is offered at Oxford Brookes University.
