Course overview
The word Ecology comes from the Greek word ‘oikos’, meaning home, and ‘ology’ denoting a science. Literally, the science of home. However, we can be a little more precise than that, and define it as ‘the scientific study of the relationships of organisms, communities, the places in which they live, and how they interact.’ This course provides an introduction to the principles and disciplines involved leading on to the concept of ‘green’ policies, and pointing the way forward with opportunities for positive involvement.

How the course works
Upon enrolment you receive your first course lessons.
You can study in your own time, at your own pace and from the comfort of your own home. If you have any questions, or would like feedback or encouragement about your course or your studies then you can contact our friendly tutors by phone, email or post.
At the end of each lesson are a set of questions. Completing these can aid your learning and help you master each step before moving on to the next. Your next lesson will then arrive for you to continue when it suits you. This allows us to continually assess understanding and competence of the subject.
Having progressed through each lesson you can take your final examination at home, and at a date and time that suits you. Then, on successful completion you will be awarded your BSY certificate.
Support
Your tutor will mark your lessons, giving valuable, constructive feedback - helping you to master each step before moving on to the next. You can contact them for support or advice throughout your studies.
You can also contact the support team who are here to help you Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
