Programme overview

As a biodiversity management student, you’ll explore how ecosystems function and support biological diversity, and how managers of biodiversity are responding to increasing concern over the impact of human activities on the planet. 

Find out how society views and influences the natural environment, discover how social, cultural, and policy frameworks influence management decisions, and develop plant identification knowledge and skills.

You’ll also develop an appreciation of the influence that government agencies, non-statutory organisations, and voluntary bodies have on biodiversity and biosecurity.

Highlights

  • Developed in response to increasing global concerns over the human impact on our natural environment
  • Emphasis on practical application: possible work experience in applied settings for organisations like the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), Department of Conservation (DOC), the Auckland Council, or volunteer organisations
  • A chance to complete a research project in an area of your own interest to develop the skills you’ll need for a career in your chosen field
  • One of our biggest strengths is plant identification, a skill well-regarded by the conservation industry. We’ll help you develop your knowledge and confidence in plant identification.
  • A teaching team of highly qualified and respected scientists and industry consultants, including botanists and an ornithologist

Double major

Can’t decide between animals or the environment? Study a double major, and you’ll get the best of both worlds with a selection of animal- and environment-related courses. 

Studying for a double major is highly recommended. Double majors further grow your knowledge and capabilities, making you more employable and competitive in the job market.

Where from here

Upon completing this programme, you can go on to further study in Master of Applied Science (Biodiversity Management)

The Herbarium

With a collection of 11,500 scientifically preserved plants, fungi, lichens and seaweeds, the Herbarium is where you’ll learn about plant specimen collection and preparation techniques.

Lots of important research work happens in the Herbarium including investigations into invasive and native plants and fungi, as well as the studies of an active lichen research group.

There’s also the opportunity to volunteer to assist with accessioning and curation.

The Herbarium

The GIS Laboratory

Where science meets tech, the GIS Laboratory has 40 workstations complete with industry standard ArcGIS and associated software.

Running on high-performance Graphics Processing Units on Virtual Device Interfaces, with large 24-inch monitors, these computers can run realistic 3D modelling, spatial analysis, image rendering, and other computing intensive tasks.

The GIS Laboratory

Applied Molecular Solutions Laboratory

If you’re interested in the genetics of animals, plants and fungi, this lab is fully equipped for DNA extraction and analysis.

Second year Bachelor of Applied Science students gain first-hand experience in the lab, and in their third year if they take on a research project that utilises molecular techniques, this lab will become their second home.

Some cool research projects currently on the go include DNA barcoding of possible biological control agents, bioremediation of contaminated soils, and the molecular analysis of seabird diets.
