Overview

Why study Ecology at Aberystwyth? At Aberystwyth you will be studying in an area rich in a variety of stunning landscapes, providing excellent fieldwork opportunities in natural and semi-natural habitats and ecosystems including the Cardigan Bay coastline, freshwater environments, woodlands, heaths, moorland and alpine habitats. Many nature reserves are within easy reach, including Snowdonia (Eryri) and the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) National Parks. Fieldwork and practical classes form an integral part of the course throughout, and you'll engage with local fieldwork using a wealth of local habitats.
