Summary
Focus on the area of Primate Conservation that you’re passionate about - and learn directly from internationally renowned conservation researchers.
On this course, you’ll gain a deep knowledge of conservation biology and primates. You’ll shape your learning experience around your interests - whether that’s habitat loss, the illegal wildlife trade or population management. You’ll collaborate on meaningful conservation projects and you’ll undertake fieldwork on a topic you care about - within our network of field sites in over 40 countries.
You’ll work directly with internationally acclaimed tutors who carry out world-leading research across Asia, South America and Africa, including Madagascar. Your tutors have unparalleled expertise on primates, and you can specialise in the topic of your choice within species like:
- Great apes
- Gibbons
- Asian, African and American Monkeys
- Lorises and galagos
- Lemurs
- Tarsiers
You’ll emerge with the skills to start or accelerate your career in conservation biology.

Entry requirements | You will normally be required to have, or be expecting, a good honours degree in anthropology, biology, ecology, psychology or an acceptable related discipline. If you are not a graduate, or if you have graduated in an unrelated discipline, you will be considered for entry to the course if you can demonstrate in your application, and at an interview, that you are able to work at an advanced level in the discipline. You may also be asked to write a short essay and/or present evidence of original work in support of your application. We will consider appropriate credits obtained elsewhere. Accreditation of prior learning (eg a conversion course or an advanced research training course) will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the course manager. Accreditation of prior experiential learning (APEL) will similarly be considered. Transfer between part-time and full-time modes, transfer from the diploma to the MSc, or deferral of study may be possible in certain circumstances. |

Summary
Our MSc Primate Conservation - Lemurs and Nocturnal Primates course is ideal for students with a particular interest in prosimian primates and night monkeys. It is a pioneering programme providing scientific and professional training and accreditation to conservation scientists.
You'll work with international scholars in primatology, biological anthropology and primate conservation. And gain the experience to research lemurs and nocturnal primates, and where relevant, to enact positive change.
Coursework is innovative and varied. It will provide you with direct training to work in conservation or ecology as a practitioner, advocate or academic. If you are working with night monkeys, lemurs, lorises and tarsiers you can gain a focus on this evolutionarily important and highly threatened group of primates, by completing an original piece of research.
You will benefit from our links with organisations and NGOs relating to apes, which include:
- Fauna and Flora International
- TRAFFIC
- Conservation International.
