Описание программы обучения "International Nature Conservation"

General Objective, Innovative Features and Rationales

Nature Conservation is the conservation, sustainable and equitable use of nature and its goods and services. The education programme provides a platform for an international professional career in nature conservation by enhancing postgraduate comparative studies at twinned Universities through contrasting issues between the southern and northern hemisphere.

Innovative features and rationales:

  • links to the international initiatives within the Convention on Biological Diversity
  • shared supervision based on collaborative research
  • support and endorsement by an international advisory committee
  • learning by contrasts, multi-experience and multi-location
  • different countries, different problems, different solutions
  • network of developed, developing and transformation countries
  • practical problem solving at a local, regional and global scale
  • holistic understanding of environmental management

The main rationale of the programme is learning by contrasts between countries and circumstances to meet contemporary demands of local, regional and global nature conservation issues

Ожидаемые результаты программы обучения "International Nature Conservation"

On graduation students will

  • have learned to contrast and evaluate nature conservation issues and solutions in countries with different biogeographical, human, geological, political, cultural and historical backgrounds
  • have gained first hand practical experience of contemporary conservation issues in a new setting, enabling them to think flexibly outside their home environment and to formulate innovative and novel but practical approaches to solving conservation problems
  • benefit from the academic complementarity between different universities and lecturers, providing them with a unique breath of knowledge of different conservation issues. Students will graduate with having taken a broader range of course subjects through complementarity and will profit from speciality subjects of hosts countries not available at one single academic institution
  • be able to give broader ranges of interpretation and enriched alternative views on common and unique conservation issues
  • have taken part in nature conservation research training based on international collaboration and experience in different countries

Стажировки и практика в программе обучения "International Nature Conservation"

The internship semester aims to provide hands-on experienced through interaction with practitioners, and is therefore an important component of the programme. Students will acquire practical skills by assisting in field and project work at a scientific host institution or at an international nature conservation organization or NGO. The practical project will cover three months minimum. In the past, students have e.g. been working at the following office or field based locations: • IUCN World Headquarters, Switzerland • KfW, Germany • Bundesamt für Naturschutz, Bonn, Germany • UNEP offices in Germany, UK and Kenya • Conservation International, Indonesia • Department of Conservation, New Zealand • Seychelles Islands Foundation, Seychelles • Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama • WWF: Ecuador, Costa Rica, Malaysia and USA • Wildlife Conservation Society, Fidji

The study semesters provide students with a basic understanding of Conservation Biology and offer insights into international conservation problems. Compulsory courses at Georg-August-Universität (Conservation Biology and Assessment, Monitoring and Conservation Strategies) focus on the stucture of, and basic theories and research approaches in Conservation Biology, reasons for biodiversity loss, the role of population biology as well as on methods to describe biodiversity and wildlife populations and practical strategies for recovery. At Lincoln, a combination of modules are compulsory among which there are Advanced Ecology and Environmental Sciences for Environmental Policy, Research Methods in Ecology, and Aspects of Sustainability.

The programme consists of 4 parts:

1. a study semester at Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen, Germany (25%, 30 Credits); 2. a study semester at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand (25%, 30 Credits); 3. an internship semester including a practical project (25%, 30 Credits); 4. the Master thesis (25%, 30 Credits).
