Content

Land use and human activity have put unprecedented pressure on the world’s environments. Could you help Scotland lead the way against climate change and transition to a net zero economy?

Gain a broader knowledge of nature and climate issues, on this HND Wildlife and Conservation Management, as we enable you to pivot between key areas and opportunities in this fast-growing and dynamic green economy. Explore the role of public engagement in planning and conservation, take part in study trips, and gain unique insights into the current challenges facing conservation and wildlife managers. Use wildlife management techniques in a work-based setting and gain greater understanding of a broad range of UK species, habitats, and their management, as you examine the physical landscape, the processes which created it, and the effects on the distribution of habitats.

Learn important fundamentals such as peatland restoration, habitat monitoring, conservation, land management, and sustainable wildlife management, as you embrace this learning experience to take your first steps into this field or develop new skills to use in your current role.
