Browse Hierarchy BIOL5012: Field Course: Surveys and Licensing

This module will develop students' competency in designing and executing field sampling techniques for UK flora and fauna. The key focus of this module is on understanding and employing current best practice field techniques for assessing the status of key habitat types and species. This creates the opportunities to apply (subject to demonstrating suitable competency) for statutory body (Natural England) licences to survey protected species (e.g. Great Crested Newt, dormouse). By undertaking this module, students will have gained appropriate field experience for employment in field based careers in ecology and conservation.
