BSc (Hons) Marine Ecology and Conservation (Top-up)

This top-up degree will build on Foundation courses in Marine, Freshwater or Coastal Conservation to provide a university experience and opportunity to co-create research with academics in the discipline. This course provides you with a deeper understanding of marine ecology and the legislative frameworks for marine conservation. Career relevant skills are developed through techniques such as GIS and data analysis with various fieldwork opportunities throughout the units. The majority of your teaching will take place at BU’s Talbot Campus, however two of the units (at least one day a week), is spent at Kingston Maurward College in Dorchester, which has secured significant recent investment. The importance of the conservation and management of marine and coastal environments cannot be ignored, as human intervention and climate change increasingly impact on the decline of fisheries and protected areas.
