MSc in Ecology and Management of the Natural Environment Job Prospects Recent changes in EC directives and UK legislation mean that there is a growing demand for the services of skilled ecologists. These days, a BSc alone is not enough to secure a successful career in the environment sector. Ecologists and environment staff need additional skills and qualifications, including an underlying knowledge of theoretical ecology and the practical skills to manage both natural and man-made habitats. Few undergraduate courses can provide this. So what postgraduate course should you study? Before choosing it is worth looking at the MSc courses run by other universities. Look at the aims of these courses, their track records, the tutors who teach them, and how vocational they are. Be wary of courses that simply ‘re-package’ undergraduate-level lectures as postgraduate ones. The MSc in Ecology and Management of the Natural Environment at the University of Bristol stands out from the rest as it places strong emphasis on core professional skills, is taught by practising ecologists and does not use undergraduate lectures. Our MSc programme is highly vocational. The course is designed to produce graduates with just the right mix of specialist knowledge, field skills and business training to make them immediately attractive to potential employers. You will emerge well-qualified for a successful career in the environment sector. You can expect to find jobs in nature conservation, land management, agriculture, forestry, environmental consultancies, local government and in industry, applied research and development within Britain, Europe and overseas. The course is particularly suited to those seeking careers as consultant ecologists.
