Online Postgraduate Opportunity in biodiversity, WILDLIFE and ecosystem healthThe future health and security of both wildlife and human populations relies critically on the health of the ecosystems on which they depend. The MSc in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health aims to meet the demand for interdisciplinary training required by those whose role it is to understand and manage the natural environment. With numerous environmental threats, it is important that people fully appreciate the complex relationships between human populations, wildlife and the ecosystems in which they live. There is more emphasis than ever before on a holistic approach to conservation management, to assess and accommodate the needs of all aspects of ecosystems, with the ultimate goal of sustainable ecosystem use to conserve the long-term potential of habitats and species diversity in both the developing and developed world. The programme draws together expertise from the University of Edinburgh's Global Health Academy and Royal (Dick) Vet School, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), with the support of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and partner global associates, to deliver first class teaching and research in the field of Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health. Thinking to join us online in 2012/13, online applications are already being considered.
The College of Medicine & Veterinary Medicine has an exciting and extensive programme of online courses.
