林肯大学生态与自然保护（荣誉）理学士学位由活跃于国际知名研究工作的积极研究人员授课。该学位旨在提供对该主题的广泛理解，包括对现代生态学，进化以及动植物生物学的关键方面的研究。保护生物多样性和避免物种的大规模灭绝是巨大的全球挑战。对于科学家来说，了解生物体如何在生态系统中工作以及它们如何应对所面临的威胁从未像现在这样重要。在第一年，学生将有机会对生物学概念有广泛的了解，包括遗传学，生态学，动植物解剖学和生理学以及环境监测的关键技能。在第二年中，更多的专业模块包括进化，保护生物学和动植物互动。学生可以从可选模
Conserving biodiversity and avoiding the extinction of species are huge global challenges. It has never been more important for scientists to understand organisms and ecosystems, and how they respond to the threats they face. Ecology and Conservation at Lincoln seeks to explore the natural world, from individuals to populations, and communities to ecosystems. Students are able to examine how organisms interact with each other and their environment, and how these processes are affected by human activities. This helps them to understand the planetary ecosystem and how it responds to environmental change. Students can learn key practical skills that professional ecologists and conservation practitioners are looking for in graduates. The course offers a diverse programme that aims to provide a firm grounding in the principles of ecology and conservation. It aims to enable students to specialise in the areas that interest them. It is taught by research-active staff in both the Department of Life Sciences and Department of Geography, who specialise in a wide range of disciplines across evolution, ecology, zoology, and environmental health. Key industry-relevant skills are taught by practitioners that have included guests from Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and Forestry England, as well as speakers from a range of employers from across the sector. Alongside fully-funded day trips throughout the degree to locations which have previously included Kew Gardens and the Millennium Seed Bank, this course also includes two fully-funded residential field trips in the UK to study ecology in a field setting. There is an additional optional overseas field trip in the final year where previous students have visited the Andean Cloud Forest in Ecuador, the Mankwe Wildlife Reserve in South Africa, and boreal forests in Finland. Those who choose to participate in the international trip are required to pay for their own flights but accommodation and meals at the field site are covered by the University.
