Bachelor of Science (Wildlife Management)

The University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ)

Preserve and protect our wildlife with hands-on courses in Wildlife Management. Learn to identify, handle and trap wildlife from experts in our team of industry-leading lecturers. Develop field safety, transport and survival skills, how to use trapping equipment, and learn survey techniques to record, analyse and present field data. Gain diverse practical skills during a field trip in your first year, wildlife industry placements, and a third-year research project undertaken in an overseas location (COVID permitting) or within Australia. Combine with a second major in Animal Science, Biology, or Environment and Sustainability, and be skilled to work in pest management, national parks, biosecurity, or zoo keeping.Career opportunities in wildlife management are growing in Australia and internationally as climate change impacts wildlife conservation. Manage wildlife in a sanctuary or zoo, or as a protected area ranger. Manage wildlife as game or as pest species (both native and introduced species) to mitigate human-wildlife conflict, such as relocating pest animals or birds striking aircraft. Graduates can find work as a biosecurity officer, pest control officer, wildlife officer, and wildlife manager.
