CONSERVATION BIOLOGY

Coordinated by the School of Tropical Biology, the Graduate Diploma of Science and Master of Applied Science in Conservation Biology aims to educate students in the background, principles and practices of conservation biology, with a particular emphasis on tropical systems.

The wide range of electives allows students to build a course specialising in protected area management, conservation in terrestrial systems or conservation in marine systems.

Prospective students should consult with the Course Coordinator. Within the broad framework of the Award Requirements, each student’s program, including weighting of coursework and research, can be tailored to the individual candidate’s background and requirements.
