The Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Ecology and Management is a four-year educational program for students interested in the conservation and management of natural resources. The program aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the ecological dynamics of wildlife populations, their habitat requirements and their interactions with human activities. The program is based on disciplines such as biology, ecology and environmental sciences and offers students the opportunity to specialize in the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife species.
During the course, students study various habitat types and the behavior and life cycles of species living in these habitats in detail. They also gain in-depth knowledge in areas such as population models, wildlife health, ecosystem management and conservation biology. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the curriculum includes field studies, laboratory work and project-based learning. This gives students the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice and apply it to real-world problems.
Teaching methods in the Wildlife Ecology and Management program include interactive lectures, group projects, seminars and workshops. Students have the opportunity to work with expert academics and practicing professionals. Teaching materials include the latest research, case studies and various scientific publications.
As for career opportunities, graduates can work in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, national parks, wildlife rehabilitation centers and the private sector. They can also pursue careers as wildlife biologists, ecosystem managers or environmental consultants. The program also provides a solid foundation for an academic career.
Internship and practicum opportunities give students the chance to gain practical experience in their field and expand their professional network. Opportunities to take part in various local and international projects, participate in real conservation work and find solutions to current problems in the sector are also an important part of the program. These experiences increase students' chances of finding a job after graduation and prepare them for challenging careers.
