Bachelor of Science [B.S] (Ecology and Conservation)
Field of Study:
£28,190/Yr
The BSc in Ecology and Conservation is a four-year course run by the School of Biology. The programme begins with a broad foundation in biology and then progresses to ecology and evolution with options across a range of relevant topics. It incorporates substantial practical and field training, and development of quantitative skills.
Alongside biology, in the first year of the studies stdents will be required to study an additional two subjects. In the second year, they will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two.
In third year, there is a shift from core, broad-themed modules to more specialised modules that allow students to prepare for their Honours degree. In fourth year students continue specific research in their chosen area through student-led, inquiry-based learning.
The University of St Andrews operates on a flexible modular degree system by which degrees are obtained through the accumulation of credits.
Centres of research within the School of Biology offer students the experience of working alongside experts and the opportunity to develop their own research in Honours years.
