Ecology is the study of interactions among organisms and their environment, and conservation biology applies an understanding of these interactions to managing and protecting species and ecosystems.
Ecologists and conservation biologists are broadly trained, using the latest scientific knowledge, tools and techniques in both laboratory and outdoor settings to develop solutions across the areas of:
Biodiversity, conservation, ecology, evolution, genetics, marine biology, medical research, and molecular biology.
Evolution underpins biological science and can be used to predict phenomena, such as understanding the emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms and how different species might respond to global warming.
Ecologists and conservation biologists work across all scales of biology, from molecules within organisms to populations of organisms and the ecosystems they form.
The Bachelor of Science major in Ecology and Conservation Biology integrates field and laboratory studies at various levels.
This program offers abundant hands-on learning opportunities within UOW’s modern labs and the diverse ecosystems of the South Coast and inland regions.
The specialised training in conservation biology, coupled with a comprehensive foundation in biology, ecology, and evolution, prepares you with sought-after knowledge and skills.
These competencies are highly valued in government and industry organisations engaged in research or policy development, both nationally and internationally.
