If you don't have the right qualifications to apply for the BSc (Hons) International Wildlife Biology, this course offers an alternative route into degree study. You'll start by completing a foundation year, which provides well-structured support, before progressing to the first year of the degree.

Wildlife biology is the study of organisms, their behaviour, ecology, environment and management. You will study big game tracking, conservation genetics, wildlife management, ecology, vertebrate zoology, marine and freshwater biology and more.

There is a strong field element, providing opportunities for immersive learning on three continents. You will study the wildlife and habitats of di?erent landscapes in South Africa; develop your scientific skills on UK field trips, and have the option to apply research techniques in the tropical forests and coral reefs of Asia or Central America.
