Undergraduate Field Courses in Ecology & Conservation

One of the highlights of studying Ecology & Conservation at the University of Exeter, Cornwall is the opportunity to undertake fieldwork, during daytrips and 6 and 10 day-long field courses during your second and third year respectively.  Read more about the kind of trips you can experience.

The thing I enjoy most about my studies is when you take a module around a topic that really resonates with you. There’s nothing more empowering as a student than learning the ‘ins and outs’ of a topic area you’re wildly passionate about, taught by someone who’s made it their life’s work.
