COURSE DESCRIPTION
Make a real impact
Conservationists observe, preserve and discover life. Whether swimming with colourful marine creatures or reforesting for native birds, they pursue their passions and connect with nature. Unfortunately, many species are vanishing—and more will disappear during our lifetime.
What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Marine and Wildlife Conservation gives you the knowledge and skills to safeguard ecosystems and protect animals in crisis. You will:
build foundational knowledge of ecology, biology, evolutionary science, statistics, botany and zoology
learn to identify plants, animals, and marine life in natural settings
use new technology, like drones and satellites, to collect data and monitor habitats
build valuable industry connections with organisations—from Arid Recovery and BioR in South Australia to Conservation International
reflect on the social, political and economic constraints of your field
access cutting-edge technology and facilities
learn from nationally and internationally acclaimed researchers.
Where could it take you?
You might run breeding programs in sanctuaries, research the impact of microplastics in fish, or deep dive on underwater volcanoes. You could explore future life in a high-CO2 world. Perhaps you’ll lead moonlit ecotours in the outback or make documentaries to educate the wider public.
