Your learning will be a mixture of online and face-to-face teaching and assessments. The department you work in will make any necessary travel arrangements for you to attend in-person events with the University from your office location.

Have a keen and active interest in wildlife and the environment.

Have high standards of written and spoken English and can communicate effectively with all stakeholders including members of the public, landowners and colleagues.

Have knowledge of basic Health and Safety and an understanding of safe working in the field and with animals.
