Bachelor of Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology)

Deakin’s Bachelor of Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology) gets you out of the classroom and into nature. Learn how to capture and handle native animals, measure the health of ecosystems, survey wildlife populations, develop conservation strategies, and even have the opportunity to visit global biodiversity hot-spots.

Do you want to create a better world for future generations, a world full of wildlife?

If you’re passionate about the environment and wildlife, this course allows you to focus on 'real-world' problem-solving and applied solutions to wildlife and conservation issues. Throughout your studies, you’ll acquire knowledge, skills, and practical expertise in a range of areas, such as:

biodiversity
wildlife and landscape ecology
landscape and vegetation management
conservation (such as planning and managing park/reserve networks, saving threatened species, and reducing threats)
wildlife biology and behavior
fire ecology
wildlife monitoring and research.

Deakin is a leader in the environmental science education sector, with this specialized course being the first of its kind to be offered in Victoria.
