Higher Certificate in Science Biological and Environmental Studies

This 2-year course provides a basis in the biological sciences (biology and chemistry) along with introductory ecology, environmental and earth science. It provides a foundation for continuation to level 7 and 8 qualifications in this area, (especially MT 880 Wildlife Biology) and can be used to enter the workforce directly.
The course involves a mix of theory, laboratory practice and field activity. Each week includes a full day of field work, at different locations in wildlife-rich Co. Kerry and beyond.
In first year, a foundation in biology, chemistry and numeracy is provided, and this is built on in second year with modules in botany, ecology, zoology and microbiology. Practical modules in outdoor skills and Geographical Information Systems are also taken. The course provides insight into the kingdoms of life, giving a strong base on which to build deeper, more focused wildlife study.
Career options
In addition to the generic transferable skills obtained, graduates gain training suitable for employment with environmental non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), education/eco-tourism providers, wildlife rescue, and as research assistants and support staff on conservation projects.
