About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The aim is to allow students to explore how the ecosystems function and support biological diversity, and how managers of biodiversity are responding to increasing concern over the effect of human activities on the world, how society views and influences the natural environment, how social, cultural and policy frameworks influence management decisions, and to develop an appreciation of the influence government agencies, non-statutory organisations and voluntary bodies have on biodiversity.
