Our world is over-developed. Today, the damage to many of our ecosystems is a recognised fact – something must be done. This masters degree is your chance to play your role.

Study with us and you’ll develop an expert understanding of restoration ecology, the attempt to bring damaged ecosystems back to a more natural state. Along the way, you’ll have the support of a teaching team with an excellent track record of high-impact research, who bring their unique mix of experience into the classroom.

The loss of habitats in many natural environments is a global trend. Industrial activity, population growth, urban expansion, pollution of our waterways – with human development comes damage to ecosystems the world over. But society is waking up to this issue. Now that more people recognise the value of biodiversity, many have started to turn back from exploiting nature for economic gain, and toward preserving and recovering habitats. And that means harnessing the science of restoration ecology.
