Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Conservation - Forestry (5DKD)

Bangor University

Forests are the most biodiverse of all terrestrial ecosystems and contain the vast majority of the world’s species. The Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Conservation - Forestry course provides an understanding of biodiversity, the ways in which it is influenced by people, and the role that forests can play in reducing the impacts of human activities, including climate change. Students will focus on the principles of biological conservation, forest ecology and forest ecosystem function, and the management of forests to meet conservation objectives. There are opportunities to study abroad in the second year. Located in beautiful North Wales, they will enjoy learning through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and practicals, as well as site visits to a diverse range of woodlands, forests and other habitats.

The degree is accredited by the Institute of Chartered Foresters and gives partial fulfilment of Professional Membership Entry. Bangor University will also pay for students' first year membership to the Institute of Chartered Foresters.

The University run week long field courses in every year of this degree, enabling students to spend time outside honing their site observation and data collection skills from the very start of the degree.
