This Level 6 top-up degree brings business studies right up to date by preparing the managers and directors of tomorrow with insight into enterprise, ethics, governance, human resources, marketing and performance management.
You will have the opportunity to conduct live consultancy work with local and national companies, to apply theoretical skills to practical situations and to develop your employability skills through enterprise.
The emphasis is on developing enterprising solution-orientated graduates who will stand out in the employment market place. Your existing skills will be developed through a series of lectures, seminars and problem-based learning opportunities. The more theoretical aspects of business studies will be contextualised into real world business settings and you are encouraged to nurture your problem solving talents.
Work-based learning is explored within all modules and the opportunity to engage directly with companies as a consultant is embedded within our Consultancy Project Module.

Take a look at your smart phone, your tablet, your laptop, your computer. In your hand, under your fingers, is the final result of mathematical theory, engineering know-how, scientific understanding and technological inspiration. It is fused with design and art so it appeals to your sense of aesthetic and to your emotions. It allows you to be creative.
So should a degree course. Single subject courses made sense in the twentieth century but in the twenty-first, life, employment, is a lot more complex and inter-disciplinary. Global problems require an ability to understand a range of subjects and combine them to propose global solutions. This is the case for conservation. Understanding the conservation science is one thing but explaining the issues and proposing the solutions to the general public is quite another. Most conservation science jobs require these skills: educators in zoos, aquariums and nature reserves, science journalists, wildlife media creators, wildlife guides, wildlife campaign managers, project coordinators, fundraisers for charities.
The FdSc Wildlife Education and Media course does just that. It teaches you the zoological conservation science that makes you a conservation scientist but it also provides skills in educating a range of audiences, both in person and through a range of media. It is a theoretical course but it is also a practical and applied course: Pop-Up Nature Centres, British Science Week activity, interpretation development, storytelling, writing journalistic copy, producing films and podcasts. You don’t just learn but do. Employers like that and this is why this small course has been successful in getting graduates into jobs, especially if you complete the one-year top-up in BSc (Hons) Applied Zoology. You produce a portfolio to evidence your skills. You learn industry standard software. We guide you to become more employable.
Other skills and knowledge you’ll gain include:
• Learning subjects like ecology, zoology, biodiversity, evolution, animal behaviour and species/habitat conservation
• Developing environmental interpretation for use by the public
• Learning how to teach through running our dedicated pop-up nature centre
• Planning and running an educational event for British Science Week
• Learning how to use digital cameras for wildlife photography/film-making and industry-standard specialist software for media creation
• Developing independent research skills in a second year project in conservation science, education and/or media.
The course can be carried out on a full time basis, which is two years at our Newquay campus adjacent to Newquay Zoo, or on a part time basis over 3 or 4 years, where you will be infilled with full time students. During the course you will have the opportunity to visit various science communication centres and also to gain first-hand experience of teaching in the classroom.
Overseas field work
The college also organises trips further afield, at your own cost. These trips are a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills and practise your skills learnt at the college. They could also be considered highly valuable if you are looking to pursue a career in ecotourism, as a wildlife tour guide. Past trips have visited the forests of Borneo, the reefs of Egypt, nature reserves in Portugal and the beautiful island of Mull in the Inner Hebrides. More recently, we have run fantastic trips to the Kruger National Park in South Africa and to the cloud forests and coral reefs of Honduras. Both of these trips offer great opportunities for a wildlife educator or a wildlife media creator to practice what you have learned in the class room.
