The Conservation and Ecology major of Lincoln's BSc focuses on giving you the practical skills, experience, and industry connections you will need to contribute to ecological and conservation activities of government and private agencies in New Zealand and beyond. Our courses include hands-on field trips and laboratories as well as weekly lectures. Courses in the first year will provide a solid grounding in the biological sciences – biology, ecology, plant and animal sciences. Practical-based courses will integrate the different focus areas of your degree at both second and third year levels. Practical experience is also available through paid summer scholarships working with ecologists and conservationists and through third year research placements. At Lincoln you’ll study with one of the most experienced groups of ecological researchers in a New Zealand university. Lincoln University's expertise in conservation and ecology include wildlife biology, entomology, plant ecology, urban ecology, restoration ecology, biosecurity, evolutionary biology, vertebrate and invertebrate pest management, and weed management – which are reflected in second and third year course options.

Helping our students grow is what we are all about. We encourage them to do it their way, with diverse learning that fits their ambitions in an environment allowing them to flourish.

Qualifications we offer range from certificate level through to PhD, and our teaching and research covers all activity associated with the land-based sectors to meet the needs of not only New Zealand, but also the world.

Lincoln students come from around New Zealand and from more than 80 countries, and our graduates can be found around the globe making a difference.

Our low student to lecturer ratio means more personalised attention for our students, and to support practical applied learning a large number of our courses have field trip components, visiting anything from a business, vineyard, or forest.

We help students to graduate with degrees that provide many varied employment opportunities. Our applied programmes prepare students for successful careers and our alumni have a 15% higher employment rate than graduates from other New Zealand universities.

It all adds up to, when the time comes, our students being ready to go out there and grow the future for themselves and others.

Some of our programmes are offered 'Fees Free'.  This applies to selected programmes for domestic students interested in postgraduate studies  https://www.lincoln.ac.nz/fees-free-study/.
