BSc Graduate in Focus Series

In the BSc Graduate In Focus series we speak to several graduates from BSc programmes within the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus in Cornwall.

They share their experiences of studying in Cornwall, how their course has helped them in their careers and what they are doing now, as well as a few top tips on progressing to a career in conservation.
