On completion of the year/programme students should have provided evidence of being able to:
1. Develop, integrate, synthesise and apply systematic and broad understanding of relevant and state-of-the-art concepts in ecology and conservation biology, to solve complex problems.
2. Interrogate and integrate diverse sources of scientific information, to design and develop methods for investigation and analysis as part of an extended piece of research on an ecology and conservation biology topic.
3. Identify and implement appropriate project planning strategies for an extended research project in ecology and conservation biology, which could include evaluation of ethics, hazards, environmental effects, sustainability and appreciation of costs.
4. Critically evaluate the outcomes of a research project and incorporate any new findings into our understanding of ecology and conservation biology as a discipline.
As defined in the modules specified for the programme, students will have had the opportunity to acquire the following abilities:
1. Work in a research environment with a high degree of autonomy and independence
2. Demonstrate skills in effective teamwork and leadership, working with others in an equitable and inclusive manner.
3. Communicate research data and ideas to a range of audiences, using subject-matter knowledge to defend a point of view.
4. Demonstrate advanced experimental, investigative, and other professional competencies important to the successful execution of an extended research project.
We use a variety of assessment methods to help you develop and assess the specific learning and skills outcomes. At level 5 these may include assessed practical work, involving safety competencies advanced practical skills, complex data handling and statistics, together with problem-solving exercises, multiple-choice tests, group work, essays, project work and oral presentations. There will be opportunities to complete practice questions and receive feedback to support learning.
