Human Dimensions of Fish and Wildlife Management
Last changed: 20 October 2023
Management of natural resources – ranging from specific wildlife species and pet animals to (semi-)pristine and over-exploited ecosystems – implies the balancing of nature’s needs and humans’ demands.
In the course on Human Dimensions of Fish and Wildlife Management, you will critically approach the management of natural resources by training yourself in assuming a position from which you would be responsible of balancing nature’s needs and humans’ demands.
A competitive advantage
The course will give you a competitive advantage over other professionals committed to conservation because you will be ready to face the complexity of managing natural resources. With climate change here, this skill is in demand across the world.
If you pursue a career in research, this course will also give you a competitive advantage by preparing you for collaborative research with other actors in society, and to be engaged in outreach activities (both often demanded by funding agencies).
The course is an arena where students from various disciplines and countries come together. The course is part of our international masters' programme in fish and wildlife management.
