I had an offer for thids course too, i thinks its a pretty good course it was highly recomended by one of my tutors who had taken this some years before.

I got the general feel that its the normal jobs such as conservation/biodiversity officers and managers. but i guess you could get into goverment jobs like DEFRA or just working for localised organisations like regional workers for natural england and stuff. The course is meant to be highly practical based to give the opportunities to ppl who are lacking in relevant work experience and also your final year project can add to this - if you hold a driving lisece my teacher said some of the project you could undertake are amazing.

i guess with all of these types of jobs though even with a master, most of us will have to start right at the bottom of the rung and gradually work our way up!

unfortunatly i have just been offered a place at imperial, otherwise i would have been joining you!

good luck with it anyway

Hi everyone, i had an interview on friday, and was offered a place on condition i get a 2.1.

im so excited, it looked like a real nice place and with regards to it being quiet that doesnt bother me in the slightest - wooooo

Thanks for all the advice

well thanks for the encouragement, i think im def going to apply and see, if i dont get in then i did all i could, im sure ill get in somewhere!

Yeah i re-read it, very confusing but i was very very sleepy when i wrote it :P sorry about that.

At the moment im at brighton uni, not ranked well, however if im correct i think the pharmacy department is alright. Ive just had an interim viva since i last posted and have been told i should get a 1st for my research project which should pull y overall up too!

I have written my personal statement which has been proof read and told its quite strong, and im a good student so hopefully i should get glowing refrences hehe.

Oh im really keeping my fingers crossed i want to do that course so much!!

Thanks for that, ill take a look!

I do have quite a bit of field experience though, my course that im on is very practical, and they take us out in the field when ever possible.

As i said i have field experience in south africa, which also invloved how conservation issues and management of the reserve i was on. My dissertation is is based alngside the sussex wildlife trust and i have been working on mapping out badger territories using feild technigues for the last 6 months!

I quite like the sound of silwood to be honest, quiet definatly doesnt have to be a bad thing, sometimes london can be too busy!!

Thanks anyway!

Hi im just after a bit of advice really. Ive been searching around for a masters in conservation & came across three i really like the sound off, but the one that appeals to me most is the conservation science at imperial college (ucl is another and also reading).

Im a mature student, Due to person problems my a levels went very bad, but i got back into uni by home study. Its now going really well, Im avaraging a 2.1 at the moment (67 %)possibility of getting a 1st. does anyone know when you apply, do the unis look at the percentage or just the oveal grade 67 % is pretty close if i dont make it?!
I know imperial is notriously hard to get but the course actually says they dont ask for formal grade requirements.

does my lack of a level matter or feild work both in the uk and Africa make up for any lack?

Am i just wasting my time or should i go for it anyway? Does anyone know what reading is like too?

p.s excuse my spelling, dyslexic and im tired :P
