one of the largest life sciences groups worldwide. The Department has an
outstanding international reputation for research and excellent
facilities for postgraduate research and education.
We offer a range of Masters courses

Our courses are taught in partnership with other organisations such as
the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, The Grantham Institute, Zoological
Society of London, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, Thomson Ecology,
CABI and Surrey Wildlife Trust.
Our courses cover a range of topics, and are an ideal stepping stone
