Bachelor of Science majoring in Marine and Wildlife Conservation

Wild animals and plants are integral to our planet: seadragons gliding through kelp forests, bees pollinating wild flowers. Unfortunately, many species are vanishing – and more will disappear during our lifetime. But you can help change that. Our Bachelor of Science majoring in Marine and Wildlife Conservation gives you the expertise needed to protect precious ecosystems and vulnerable animals. Through hands-on practical experiences within Adelaide’s unique natural environments – from grassy woodlands to rocky reefs and oyster reefs – you’ll develop a deep understanding of marine and wildlife environments. Delving into both biological and physical sciences, you’ll explore why ecosystems fail and how to repair them. You'll build data analysis skills and debate the ethical complexities of the field. When you graduate, you’ll have skills in decision making that direct conservation efforts to make an impact. Doors will open to adventure-filled careers – from conservation operations, communications, species conservation, environmental consulting, socio-ecological assessments, and ecotourism to catchment management and community education.
