    "summary": "Explore how genetic data is applied to conservation management and wildlife law enforcement to address challenges facing the sector.\n\nThere is global recognition of the benefits of using genetic data to support wildlife conservation and management decisions. However, implementation of genetic approaches is still rare, partly due to a lack of personnel with the knowledge and skills to apply theoretical and practical population genetics to conservation practice.\n\nWildlife forensics is an exciting field that is attracting increasing global attention in the fight against illegal wildlife trade.\n\nThe curriculum covers all essential aspects, from population genetic theory and data analysis to the considerations involved in interpreting and applying scientific findings to management, policy, and criminal investigation.\n\nYou have the choice to specialise in either applied conservation genetics or wildlife forensics. Both options provide students with transferable scientific skills and global networks to address modern challenges in conservation management. \n\nStudents benefit from the perspective of a number of external tutors from local and international organisations with specific expertise in the subject matter. Course material is based on real-world examples from wildlife management projects and forensic casework.\n\nAs a comprehensive introduction to the fields of conservation genetics and wildlife forensics, the programme is a valuable stepping stone for wildlife professionals looking to pursue an advanced scientific career in either of these fields.\n\nThe programme is designed as an institutional collaboration between the University of Edinburgh and SASA (Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture), a government facility which houses the UK wildlife DNA forensics laboratory.
