This degree focuses on the theory, practice and ethics of biodiversity conservation and wildlife biology, from the level of wildlife populations to entire ecosystems. An emphasis is placed on the unique biodiversity of Australia and its connections with the rest of the globe. The program will suit current practitioners wishing to upgrade their knowledge and skills as well as those seeking employment in this sector.
Government agency staff seeking to update their expertise or seek a higher degree in conservation studies. Students seeking employment in government agencies or the private sector professionals (eg zoo staff and wildlife careers, vets, environmental consultants, policy and planning specialists, lawyers, economists, accountants). Non-government organisation staff (e.g. conservation lobbyists, animal welfare groups and community groups) seeking an improved understanding of conservation issues. Biological Sciences graduates, or environment and conservation professionals seeking further education in conservation biology.
Part of what makes Macquarie future focused is that we allow you the freedom to explore your interests across a range of areas, rather than lock you in to a single, narrow field. So follow your passions and tailor your course to your needs and interests.
Units are what we call subjects. Most full-time students take four units – each worth a fixed number of credit points – per session.
Most postgraduate courses require a successfully completed Australian bachelor degree or equivalent from a recognised institution and may also require a specific grade point average (GPA). Our admissions team will determine whether your qualification meets the requirements.
