About the course

The Master of Conservation Science program will show you how to use science to support conservation strategies and policies. It integrates conservation, ecology and biodiversity – with a focus on the problems of restoring and maintaining viable populations of animal and plant species, and natural and managed ecosystems – so you can better confront complex conservation problems.

　　This program is taught by world-class experts, in an intensive mode that allows you to complete the equivalent of two academic years in just 18 months.

　　You'll deepen your understanding of all aspects of biodiversity and conservation, environmental philosophy, national and international conservation policy, and systematic conservation decision-making processes. And, in addition to advanced-level coursework, you'll complete a variety of field work teaching at unique sites,such as subtropical rainforests, national parks, and UQ’s Heron Island and Moreton Bay research stations.
