SRUC Aberdeen Campus

As part of Great Big Green Week, we're showcasing some of the incredible opportunities available to students on our Wildlife and Conservation Management programmes.

Each year, our HNC and HND Wildlife and Conservation Management students take part in a week-long study tour, working alongside organisations such as Trees For Life, Woodland Trust Scotland, Balmoral Castle and the National Trust for Scotland. It's a unique opportunity to see how the knowledge and skills developed in the classroom are applied in real-world conservation and land management settings.

Join us for Aberdeen Insect Week from 22nd - 28th June for a week of fascinating insect themed events across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire

Nature lovers of all ages can get involved with a range of activities, including beetle identification, insect surveys, pond dipping, expert talks and exploring pollinator-friendly wildflowers.

As we celebrate Great Big Green Week, we're highlighting the hands-on experiences that help our Wildlife and Conservation Management students make a real difference to the environment.

At the start of each academic year, new and returning students spend time volunteering at nature reserves across Aberdeenshire and within the Cairngorms National Park. It's a fantastic opportunity to contribute to important conservation work, build friendships, develop practical skills and connect with organisations that could become future employers.
