Course Overview

It is a pioneering programme providing scientific and professional training and accreditation to conservation scientists.

The course covers the challenges and research opportunities around Apes in the Anthropocene. This includes a tailored module allowing you to focus on your chosen topic within conservation, ecology and cognition.

Coursework is innovative and varied. It will provide you with direct training to work in conservation or ecology as a practitioner, advocate or academic.

You'll work with international scholars in primatology, biological anthropology and primate conservation. And gain the experience to research great apes and gibbons, and where relevant, to enact positive change.

You will benefit from our links with organisations and NGOs relating to apes, which include:

  • The Jane Goodall Institute
  • Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International
  • Sumatran Orangutan Society
  • Fauna and Flora International
  • Conservation International.

Entry Requirement 

Academic Requirement:

You will normally be required to have, or be expecting, a good honours degree in anthropology, biology, ecology, psychology, or an acceptable related discipline.

If you are not a graduate, or if you have graduated in an unrelated discipline, you will be considered for entry to the course if you can demonstrate in your application, and at an interview, that you are able to work at an advanced level in the discipline. You may also be asked to write a short essay and/or present evidence of original work in support of your application.

We will consider appropriate credits obtained elsewhere. Accreditation of prior learning (eg a conversion course or an advanced research training course) will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the course manager. 

Transfer between part-time and full-time modes, transfer from the diploma to the MSc, or deferral of study may be possible in certain circumstances at the discretion of the examination committee.
