Course summary

FdSc Integrated Wildlife Conservation is particularly relevant if you’re attracted to a career in conservation but haven’t considered university before.

You’ll get a recognised qualification in wildlife conservation after two years and can take your study to degree level by doing an extra year after that.

Gain the practical skills and knowledge to work in wildlife conservation, and play a positive role in helping to solve our planet’s conservation challenges. Study in Bristol, home to the BBC's world-renowned Natural History Unit, and a recognised hub for environmental organisations and projects.

Gain invaluable experience at Bristol Zoo, and participate in diverse conservation projects and fieldwork both in the UK and overseas. We encourage you to apply for volunteering roles in the holidays, to add extra weight to your CV.

This course is excellent preparation for local, national and international careers in conservation. You can go straight into level three of the BSc(Hons) Integrated Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science at UWE Bristol if you want to get a full degree.
