Leading to: Bachelor of Science majoring in Marine and Wildlife Conservation

Our Bachelor of Science majoring in Marine and Wildlife Conservation gives you the expertise needed to protect precious ecosystems and vulnerable animals.? 

Through hands-on practical experiences within Adelaide’s unique natural environments – from grassy woodlands to rocky reefs and oyster reefs – you’ll develop a deep understanding of marine and wildlife environments. Delving into both biological and physical sciences, you’ll explore why ecosystems fail and how to repair them. You'll build data analysis skills and debate the ethical complexities of the field.  

When you graduate, you’ll have skills in decision making that direct conservation efforts to make an impact. Doors will open to adventure-filled careers – from conservation operations, communications, species conservation, environmental consulting, socio-ecological assessments, and ecotourism to catchment management and community education.

You’ll build skills in scientific research and data analysis. This will set you up to conduct field studies, interpret ecological data, and assess conservation outcomes. 

The degree addresses major threats to biodiversity, such as habitat destruction, climate change, pollution and invasive species. You’ll explore conservation strategies, from habitat restoration to species reintroduction – and even develop some of your own.?You’ll learn of some of the newest advances in conservation technology, like playing underwater music to restore an extinct ecosystem of oyster reefs, or fly drones to discover and map lost habitats. Sharpen your communication, learning how to debate effectively and advocate for environmental protection. 

You’ll take courses in:
