These part-time programmes aim to provide a self-contained set of modules that can be studied in a flexible way, so that people from various backgrounds and interests can gain advanced level knowledge and understanding about the biology and ecology of birds, their conservation, and how ornithological problems and issues can be investigated. The overall aim is to provide training in the science of ornithology that is appropriate for either a career, or voluntary activity, in ornithology and nature conservation. Some of the modules are run in collaboration with the British Trust for Ornithology. The programme consists of a single core of modules. Study for the MSc takes three years but it is possible to enrol initially for one year for the award of a Post Graduate Certificate, or for two years for the award of a Post Graduate Diploma. The final year of the MSc is concerned with a major research project.
