Sorry, I misread that as you didn't have any local or African field experience!

Silwood Park (where the course is based) is nice, but a bit quiet if you were expecting to study in London. I also get the impression that the course director Dr Milner-Gulland is very well regarded in conservation circles.

I'd suggest getting some conservation work experience to bolster your CV (parks trusts, wildlife trusts, BTCV, the Mammal Society etc - they always need help on their Water Shrew survey). It doesn't have to be somewhere exotic, local field experience is just as valid.

Also try the ZSL website: www.zsl.org/info/jobs/academic-and-post-graduate-opportunities,116,AR.html

Good luck!

Are you going to work in your PhD during the summer?

If you took the whole summer vacation off then your supervisor would probably make sure that you don't have a PhD project to come back to.

Email each department and ask them what their latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) score was. That's a good indication of productive departments.
