BSc Ecology

Objectives
Ecology is about understanding how ecosystems work and the processes that promote or threaten biodiversity. Ecology addresses questions such as: - How can biodiversity be conserved most effectively? - How do interactions between species affect their distribution or abundance? - Can species' responses to climate change be predicted? - How can populations be managed sustainably?
