Graduates of the Bio- and Environmental Engineering degree program are involved in various current topics. The course offers a unique combination of science and technology to address the challenges of our time and develop sustainable solutions.

Are you interested in understanding the diversity of life on Earth, including the diversity in genes, physiology, shapes, sizes and behaviors? Or have you ever wondered if populations of interacting organisms persist over time or actually become extinct? Students majoring in evolution, ecology and biodiversity will be able to gain a breadth of knowledge in this and much more!

BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation focuses on core conservation issues, the physical environment and the landscape. You’ll gain hands-on learning experience in our advanced Bodmer laboratories and develop transferable skills in interpreting biological field data. As your studies progress, you will gain a theoretical and practical understanding of wildlife, wildlife ecology and environmental problems that threaten species. There is also an option to complete a one-year paid industry placement.

Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, our BSc (Hons) Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology explores conservation theory and practice both in zoos and in the wild. The course team has strong connections with local zoos and aquariums that can provide you with a wide range of experiences throughout your studies. You’ll learn in our world-class Bodmer laboratory minutes from Manchester city centre. There is also an option to complete a one-year paid industry placement.

Joint program with the Faculty of Science. While Environmental Science is a broad technical field – integrating biology, chemistry, physics and physical geography – it includes the essential work of understanding the impact human activities have on our planet.
