Course Overview

On our Natural History degree you will get to explore the diversity of life, wildlife management for conservation, marine biology and environmental survey skills. A key feature of this natural history degree is gaining practical skills that you can apply on land, in freshwater environments and in the oceans. To develop these skills, you will go on a range of one-day and residential field courses operating in both the UK and overseas.

Overseas field trips presently go to Portugal or Spain, Iceland and an optional module to Botswana.

Wildlife photography and film-making is another exciting part of the course where you will develop your skills to produce a documentary.

You will study different organisms and how they are identified, their life history and relationships. Through the study of their habitats and environments, you will learn to identify animal behavior and ecological interactions. You will explore the processes that shape our land and define our natural world.

Teaching

The Natural History and Media course is delivered full or part time. You will be taught via a combination of lectures, practicals and fieldwork.

Students receive on average 18 contact hours per week, and will be expected to do a total of 200 hours of independent study per module.

Our Natural History and Media degree has three bespoke digital production and media modules. Students will gain significant hands-on experience of using both traditional and emerging media technologies as well as skills that will allow them to enter the research sector of media production.

The natural sciences course also offers numerous transferable skills including GIS, numeracy and statistics, data handling and interpretation.

The alignment of the course for CIEEM accreditation ensures that students develop key skills in ecology which will enhance graduate employment prospects in the ecological sector.
