These streamlined 12- and 18-month degree programs will provide you with comprehensive theoretical, analytical and practical knowledge and real-world application, covering ecology and wildlife conservation, and conservation decision making.
They draw on our world-renowned research expertise and established links with industry.
Unique structure
Designed around blocks of fieldwork, the intensive Master of Conservation Biology program allows you to complete the equivalent of three semesters of study in just 12 months.
Starting your program at the end of June, you’ll complete 12 courses in sequence, over 12 calendar months, using a summer semester.
Once you complete the Master of Conservation Biology, you can apply to enrol in the Master of Conservation Science. If successful, you’ll undertake a four-month research project or complete additional coursework.
See our course lists
As you work sequentially through our courses, you'll visit some of the world's most unique ecosystems, and train in data analysis, environmental policy and conservation decision making.
