Which Course? Diploma: This is a course in UK wildlife and habitat conservation and management. If you are looking for a career change into habitat management and biodiversity conservation, wanting continuing professional development, or wishing to be more effective in your volunteering, then this course is ideal for you. Previous students have included volunteers or employees with wildlife trusts, botanical societies and other NGOs, Local Authority employees, and environmental educators, as well as those hoping to apply skills and knowledge gained within agriculture, IT, and many other fields.

Advanced Diploma: This is a course in global environmental issues which examines how global processes affect us locally. If you are looking for a career change into environmental conservation, needing continuing professional development, wanting to apply the bigger picture to local environmental problems, or wanting to be more effective with your local environmental group, then this course is ideal for you. Past students have been from Local Authorities or NGOs, active campaigners with environmental groups, specialists wanting a broader view of environmental issues, journalists and planners. It is not necessary to have completed the Diploma course in order to be considered for this course.

If you are unsure which course to apply for, contact the Course Administrator to discuss the options. It is possible to change course after you have sent in your application form and discussed the options at interview.

Course Directors Diploma & Advanced Diploma: Kerry Lock graduated with an honours degree in Ecology from Dundee

University in 1997, and a PhD in population biology from Aberdeen University

in 2004. She has worked on a variety of ecological projects, including

researching the Scottish biting midge on the west coast of Scotland; hen

harriers on the Orkney Islands; and a study of the behavioural ecology of

guanacos in Argentina until 2005. Prior to joining the OUDCE in July 2010,

Kerry worked with the Wildlife Trust and gained vast experience in applied

Undergraduate Diploma in Environmental Conservation 2010 – 2011 Introduction This part-time modular course in British wildlife and countryside

conservation is designed for people with an interest in promoting

appreciation and conservation of the natural environment. It is

particularly suited to professional conservationists and conservation

educators, and will also benefit those without formal training in

environmental subjects who want to understand the principles of

wildlife conservation and environmental management in the UK. The

course team brings together ecologists, geographers, nature reserve

managers, planners, educators and other experts to provide a wide

perspective on conservation matters. Module 2 begins in September

2010, with a preparatory course for new students in July 2010.

The course has been running at Rewley House for twenty years (it was

formerly called the Certificate in Countryside Conservation) and it has

been used by volunteer and professional conservationists in Oxfordshire

and throughout the country for professional development, for making

career changes and for enabling wider participation in local

conservation.

The course has been designed for mature students who are working full-

or part-time and every effort is made to design a programme that can be

accommodated around a busy working life. Students living far from

Oxford have found the all-day Saturday meetings to be a convenient

schedule.

It is a condition of acceptance onto the Diploma course that you

should have successfully completed the Preparatory Course. In

exceptional circumstances, the Course Director may grant an

exemption.

- 6 -

Course Structure

Modules The course consists of two modules, each beginning in September and

running for one year. The modules can be taken in any order. Each

module consists of ten 6-hour Saturday meetings and a series of linked

weekends on an environmental theme. In addition to the Saturday

meetings, you must attend two one-hour tutorials. The tutorials are

conducted in smaller groups and enable a more detailed discussion of a

topic with a tutor.

You will be expected to attend all the lectures, field meetings and

tutorials which make up this course.

Classes will normally be based at the Department for Continuing

Education in Oxford, but a considerable amount of teaching will take

place in the field. There will be no printed units for these classes; you

will be provided with some duplicated materials, reading lists and links

to online-resources from which you will be expected to undertake the

necessary background reading. You should expect to spend an average

of 10 hours per week on independent study in addition to the timetabled

classes.

During July and August 2010 and 2011 you will be carrying out

fieldwork for your projects. These are submitted in early September

2010 and 2011.

Linked weekends Each year the linked weekends give you the opportunity to put into

practice skills learnt on the course,

The linked weekends for Module 2 will take place from 10am to 5pm

on Fridays and Saturdays on the following dates:

15 - 16 October 2010

3 – 4 December 2010

18 – 19 March 2011

environmental economics in conservation

The learning outcomes of the Diploma programme are to:

a) understand a wide range of ecological principles in community

and population ecology

b) understand the functioning, structure, productivity, and

dynamics of UK habitats, but excluding marine habitats

c) understand the major issues in UK wildlife conservation such as

biodiversity and extinction, integrating farming and

conservation, conflicts of land use, legal controls of countryside

management

d) initiate and carry out a basic environmental research project

e) understand the basic principles of environmental economics and

education and how they relate to UK wildlife conservation

Assessment For each module of the Diploma, the following assessment methods are

in length

• A field notebook based on the linked weekends (3,500 words)

• A project of 5,000 words in length

• A three-hour examination (usually held in June)

Written assignments, including the field notebook and project, count for

60% of the final mark; the examinations count for 40%.

There is a minimum attendance requirement of 75% of taught sessions,

fieldwork days and tutorials.

- 9 -

Preparatory Course All new students will be expected to take a 12-hour preparatory course,

Ecology and the Landscape. The course provides a general introduction

to the subject. Classes will be held on Saturday 3 July and Saturday 10

July 2010 from 10am to 5pm, at the Department form Continuing

Education, Rewley House. The preparatory course will give an

overview and introduction to ecology and conservation; an introduction

to plant and animal identification; and a short field trip. You will be

expected to submit a 1,500 word essay for assessment. Students who

successfully complete the Preparatory Course may proceed to the

Diploma.

Qualifying for the Diploma in Environmental Conservation Both modules must be passed within a period of five years to qualify for

the Diploma. The two modules can be taken in any order.

Students who successfully complete this two-year course will gain 120

CATS points at Level 2 in the Department’s Qualifications and Credit

Framework.

Entry requirements No formal academic qualifications are required for entry to the course,

but evidence of an existing interest and involvement in environmental

conservation or education will be required. This is a challenging course

of study demanding a high level of commitment from students who are

studying to the equivalent of second year undergraduate level. Thus the

most important attributes that an applicant can possess are a desire and

commitment to learn, enthusiasm for the subject and the ability to work

alongside fellow students and tutors. Applicants must be able to

demonstrate their proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and

understanding English to a level commensurate with the course of

study. Where students are from overseas or English is a second

language, they will be required to supply certificates of English

proficiency.

Undergraduate Advanced Diploma in Environmental Conservation, 2010 – 2011 Introduction Newspapers and television abound in reports on environmental topics,

from climate change to oil spillages, to overfishing and GM crops, to

species extinctions and sustainability, from carbon trading to transport

taxes. The Advanced Diploma in Environmental Conservation aims to

examine these sorts of issues in environmental conservation, at the

continental and global scale, in order to understand how big issues will

affect us locally.

It is a part-time modular course aimed at volunteer and professional conservationists who wish to keep up-to-date with environmental issues

at a global scale and who wish to apply global environmental issues to

local initiatives. Not only will the course provide the factual

information on environmental issues, but you will also have the

opportunity to learn about techniques in measuring and quantifying

environmental change. In the second year of study you can undertake

your own research dissertation in an environmental topic of your

choice.

The course has been designed for mature students who are working full-

or part-time, and every effort is made to design a programme that can be

accommodated around a busy working life.
