MSc Conservation Science and Practice

Imperial College London

Gain world-class, inter-disciplinary training to tackle critical conservation challenges and deliver projects effectively, thoughtfully, and ethically.You’ll be trained to understand conservation issues as complex problems, that require social and ecological sciences for great decision-making. A mixture of online and in person teaching, and the option of studying full or part time, provides flexibility and accessibility for our students. This course consists of two intensive teaching periods at the Centre for Environmental Policy (CEP) in South Kensington, featuring seminars, practicals, fieldtrips, one-to-one mentoring, and insights from conservation experts. The rest of the course is delivered through interactive remote sessions, offering students a unique opportunity to learn from conservation leaders in research, policy and practice all over the world. Assessments are based on authentic conservation activities, such as grant proposals, presentations and policy briefs. You will also conduct a specialist independent research project in an area of your interest within the UK or abroad, and that can be carried out in collaboration with one of our many research and NGO partners outside Imperial.This course will equip you with the skills to be a pioneer within the next generation of conservation scientists and practitioners, able to solve sustainability and environmental problems in a range of academic, research, governmental and non-governmental organisations.
