We teach this wildlife management course from the perspective of regulatory authorities associated with UK wildlife management. You'll receive advanced training in policy and science implementation. It is professionally focused and relevant to a range of roles in the sector.
Much of the training and many case studies will focus on UK and EU policy. The generic training will allow you to work in other countries where policy and management are strongly linked.
The course is run jointly by:
- the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences at Newcastle
- the National Wildlife Management Centre (NWMC) at Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).
APHA provides advice to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on wildlife management. It is involved with the development, assessment and implementation of policy associated with wildlife problems in the UK. It is concerned with invasive species, wildlife disease. It has a large portfolio of research and management that is implemented at a national scale.
