Ecology as a degree centres on the scientific study of interactions between living organisms and their environment. It explores the complex relationships that shape ecosystems, populations, and the natural world as a whole. Ecologists play a crucial role in understanding environmental dynamics, conservation efforts, and sustainable practices.

Studying Ecology equips you with critical skills in understanding complex ecological systems, conducting research, and making informed decisions to address environmental challenges. Ecologists are at the forefront of addressing issues such as habitat loss, climate change, and biodiversity conservation. A degree in Ecology opens doors to impactful careers, allowing you to contribute to the health of ecosystems, the preservation of species, and the sustainable use of natural resources. Whether you're studying the behaviour of predators and prey or analysing the effects of pollution on aquatic ecosystems, a degree in Ecology offers an exciting journey into unravelling the intricacies of the natural world and its interactions.

Graduates of a degree in Ecology will have diverse career opportunities across various sectors. These include roles as ecologists, environmental consultants, wildlife biologists, conservationists, and educators. Ecologists contribute to the understanding of ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, and the impact of human activities on the natural world.

Your degree program will blend theoretical knowledge with practical fieldwork experiences. You will study topics such as ecosystem dynamics, population ecology, biodiversity, and environmental conservation. Through lectures, seminars, and field studies, you'll gain insights into the intricate balance of natural systems. Depending on your course, you might engage in hands-on research projects, data collection in diverse habitats, and opportunities for internships. Modules you study could include:

  • Ecosystem Ecology
