Undergraduate Field Courses in Ecology & Conservation

The thing I enjoy most about my studies is when you take a module around a topic that really resonates with you. There’s nothing more empowering as a student than learning the ‘ins and outs’ of a topic area you’re wildly passionate about, taught by someone who’s made it their life’s work.
