The MSc in Rewilding and Nature Recovery offers training in the practical elements of rewilding and related nature recovery techniques grounded in a deep exploration of the debates and science behind rewilding. You will explore how rewilding might be the best available approach to halt catastrophic declines in biodiversity and the challenges it faces to achieve this. You will learn from diverse perspectives about how humans have impacted nature (for better and worse) and what rewilding can do to address that in a range of different contexts. Those perspectives will be drawn from around the University and beyond, including ecology, conservation, social science, archaeology, history and other humanities.
The programme takes advantage of Aberdeen’s unique position in northern Scotland, which is at the cutting edge of rewilding, with numerous major rewilding initiatives within a short distance from campus. Fieldtrips and residential fieldwork to these rewilding projects will get you first-hand experience of rewilding in action. This will offer invaluable experience and chances to develop professional networks in rewilding.
