This inspired me to pursue a career which focuses on the protection of natural habitats and species at risk. Applying to Exeter was a no-brainer because of its global reputation in ecology, and the quality of research published."
"Conservation is essential all over the world which is why I love the international approach taken by my course, whether it be learning about the work of the academic staff or going on field courses. I have had the chance to spend two weeks travelling across Kenya to learn about the challenges of human-wildlife interactions and conservation initiatives in unique tropical ecosystems. Additionally, in the spring, I will be conducting a research project in the French Pyrenees to examine the effects of climate change on birds in a mountainous environment.
I have no doubt that this course is the best step I could take towards my professional development. The extracurricular events such as weekly guest seminars and frequent career services such as fairs create an environment which encourages networking and shows that countless job, placement, and PhD opportunities exist.
