Browse Hierarchy BIO739P: Science into Policy & Management

This module is designed to bring you face-to-face with regulators, policy makers and their science base, as representatives from potential employers such as CEFAS, Defra and the Environment Agency will give lectures on topical issues. The focus is on human impacts on ecosystems, including pollution and habitat alteration and how these can be mitigated with consideration of national and international legislation and directives. Guest lecturers will also include consultants who will be able to advise on career paths. As a detailed case study, you will visit the River Communities Group based in Dorset for one week and investigate the link between successful science and policy.
