"I have always had a personal commitment to the environment and conservation and Birkbeck offered me the ideal opportunity to further that interest while still working full time."

"My ultimate aim was to gain a formal qualification to give me the opportunity to change career paths. I'm pleased to say that I have now taken up the role of Chief Executive of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. I couldn't have done it without Birkbeck."

BSc Environmental Conservation

Every year, hundreds of students join us to study one of our many Environment and related programmes.

Some of them, like Sue Walton, studied with us to improve their career prospects. And then there are those, like Marshall Heap, who were attracted by Birkbeck's extensive links with industry. All of them are united in their desire to make the most of their time with us, some even returning after completing one degree to move on to the next level.
