B.SC (HONS) WILDLIFE CONSERVATION WITH ZOO BIOLOGY WITH STUDIES IN THE USA WITH PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

This course combines with the hugely popular Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology programme to offer students taking that course the chance to undertake the second year of their studies in the USA. Partnering with Otterbein University in Ohio, you will study equivalent modules in the USA that will form your second year degree mark.

This course focuses on wildlife conservation both in zoos and in the wild which is ideal if you wish to pursue a career involving wildlife, working in either of those environments. The School, and its USA partner, have close links with local zoos and aquariums to provide you with a wide range of experiences throughout your course. 

By choosing the professional experience pathway, you'll complete a year-long industrial placement between years two and three. This is a great opportunity to apply what you've learnt so far, and develop additional workplace skills to complement your academic studies.

One of the key features of this course is our strong emphasis on field trips – these include day trips as well as national and overseas residential trips with the majority of these trips being free. 

In the 2020 NSS survey, wildlife courses received 100% overall satisfaction [based on University of Salford analysis of unpublished NSS 2020 data].

This programme has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.

You will:

• Acquire the practical skills used in wildlife conservation and zoos
• Have the opportunity to go on a variety of field trips, including to the tropics
• Combine knowledge of theory with practical skills
• Have the opportunity to undertake international study in the USA
