By studying our masters in zoo conservation biology, you'll develop the skills and experience to contribute to this essential work. You’ll develop expertise in the science that underpins the management and maintenance of captive populations and explore the links with species conservation on a global scale. A core module is delivered at, and in partnership with, Chester Zoo. This gives you unique access to the zoo's collections and expert staff. You’ll then choose whether you want to join the annual overseas field trip or apply to a three-month work placement at a zoo or aquarium. Your experience then culminates in an independent research project using data you’ve gathered throughout the course.
