Using an expedition towards your degree
You can come on a tropical conservation expedition with Operation
Wallacea and use the experience to gain credit towards your
undergraduate degree or Masters program. Students from
universities from every part of the world can come out and gain
credit from working on projects including biodiversity monitoring,
animal behaviour studies, genetic conservation, social development
and many other areas of research. Gaining credit in this way
can often be cheaper than normal credit from your university and you
will get the experience of working abroad and in conservation
included.
Operation Wallacea expeditions offer a huge
range of different experiences and specialties which you can choose
from so you can design your own expedition to cover your own
interests and credit requirements. For example credit can be
used towards biology, ecology, geography and environmental
science degrees, as well as more specialised credit requirements
such as foreign languages, genetics and humanities while students
doing non science degrees can use the expedition as an exciting way
to get lab credit.
To see the ways in which you can gain credit for a conservation
expedition go through the link below that applies to the country
where you are studying and the country where you wish to go on
expedition. Equally if you are looking for a specific type of
credit (e.g. marine studies, sociology, genetics) you can see what specialised
expeditions we have available.
Alternatively you can use your expedition to collect data to use
for a final year or Masters dissertation
or thesis project.
For some students credit can also be arranged through your own
institutions, usually as an independent
study or international experience.
Unfortunately this system can not be used for UK based students.
