Bachelor of Wildlife Science

Wildlife Science at UQ Gatton focuses on whole animal biology and the management of wild animals, including their ecology and conservation. Students will gain the ability to implement and evaluate wildlife management programs for captive and free-ranging wildlife. In this program students will develop a deep scientific knowledge of wildlife anatomy and physiology, captive breeding, reproduction, nutrition, health, husbandry, ecology, welfare and behaviour. With excellent wildlife trapping, identification and animal handling skills, students will be able to make a major contribution to the wildlife, game and vertebrate pest management industries in Australia.
