MWldMgt - Master of Wildlife Management

The Master of Wildlife Management is offered jointly by the Graduate School of the Environment, the Department of Biological Sciences and the Key Centre for Biodiversity and Bioresources. The aim is to provide students with the skills necessary for employment in some aspect of wildlife or ecological management or research. The program aims to imbue students with an understanding of the inter-disciplinary nature of management decision making, while providing an overview of the ecological basis of conservation, harvest management or pest control. Students will gain skills in handling, marking, observing and conducting censuses of wild animals, with particular knowledge of the biology, ecology and behaviour of wild animals in Australia.

Students may also specialise in a Habitat program which has a strong interdisciplinary focus. The program provides students with a sound knowledge base in individual disciplines as well as real world application skills and an understanding of the multi-disciplinary approach required in the management of living resources. The program also provides students with relevant industry placement opportunities.
