Course Description

Study for an MSc Conservation Leadership to become a leader of conservation projects at the forefront of protecting threatened habitats and species. You’ll be offered a unique experience in project management, helping to lead a national or international conservation project.

Conserving our planet’s diverse species, habitats and ecosystems in an ethical and socially responsible manner is one of today’s greatest challenges. Conservation project managers tackle these challenges, using essential skills, such as developing conservation strategies, managing budgets, creating sustainable financing, managing teams and working with diverse stakeholder groups.

Our MSc Conservation Leadership has been developed to address a leadership skill gap in the sector, by providing expertise and experience in managing impact-driven conservation projects. The course will equip you with the theoretical, personal and practical skills needed to take your career forward as a conservation leader.

  • a good honours degree (minimum 2:2) in a subject which includes conservation science, environmental science, or a related science. Your qualification will be from a UK or recognised overseas institution, and

Student Destinations

Our MSc in Conservation Leadership will serve as a unique training platform to secure a decision-making position or to advance your career within the wildlife conservation sector.

This course has been created due to a gap in the market, with conservationists looking to progress their career within this sector. Conservation organisations are lacking applicants with project leadership know-how and experience.

On completion of this Conservation MSc, you’ll be equipped with the skills, knowledge and tools to effectively lead a conservation project. So you’ll graduate in a strong position to secure a leadership role within an existing or new conservation project in the sector.
