I came to study a BSc (Hons) in Conservation Biology and Ecology at the Cornwall Campus after completing an FdSc in Zoological Conservation with Cornwall College. The Honours degree was well thought out and presented to us by a variety of experienced and knowledgeable lecturers. The course was exciting and informative; it shapes the way I think today and is a credit to my curriculum vitae. Since leaving those doors, I have worked in Peru for a conservation organisation (ProDelphnus) and, here in the UK, have found employment as a fisheries officer for Marine Scotland (formerly the SFPA). I look forward to a varied and interesting career in biology conservation and owe a great deal of thanks to the staff that supported me during my time studying in Cornwall.
