Environmental Conservation comes of age

Our part-time Diploma in Environmental Conservation is celebrating its 21st birthday in 2011, and our Advanced Diploma course is entering its 10th year.

The Diploma course, which began in 1990, focuses on UK wildlife conservation while the Advanced Diploma embraces global environmental issues. Inevitably, both courses look at climate change and how this is affecting wildlife, ecosystems and global resources such as water and food production.

Students come from many backgrounds: some already work in the environment sector, but an equal number are highly qualified in a different field and are seeking career change. UK students are joined by those from many countries overseas, including Brazil, Nigeria, Hong Kong, South Africa, Germany, Hungary and South Korea. All share a passion for making a difference to the environment.
