BA Conservation Biology and Digital Marketing
About this course
Conservation Biology and Digital Marketing is an unusual but thoughtful combination, pairing the scientific study of biodiversity and conservation with one of the most dynamic and data-driven disciplines in contemporary business. The pairing is more coherent than it might initially appear: conservation organisations, environmental charities, wildlife campaigns, and sustainability-focused businesses all need practitioners who can both understand ecological principles and communicate them compellingly in digital environments. The ability to tell conservation stories effectively, build digital audiences for environmental causes, and use data to evaluate the impact of campaigns is a genuinely distinctive professional capability. At Liverpool Hope University, this three-year full-time programme develops both strands with genuine academic seriousness. You will study the science of biodiversity, wildlife management, habitat assessment, species ecology, and conservation policy alongside the theory and practice of digital marketing, covering social media strategy, content creation, data analytics, SEO, and the commercial frameworks within which digital campaigns operate. A sandwich year, year abroad, and work placement are all available, giving you an unusually wide range of professional and international experience before you graduate. Graduates of this combination are well placed for roles in conservation organisations, wildlife charities, environmental NGOs, sustainability-focused businesses, and any professional context where ecological knowledge and digital communication capability are needed together. Some work in the communications and fundraising arms of conservation bodies, while others move into digital marketing roles in environmental or sustainability-oriented businesses. Others may pursue careers more firmly in one discipline than the other, using the breadth of the degree as a foundation for further specialist study or professional development in conservation science or marketing.
