The Bachelor of Science in Ecology (Extended Programme) at the University of Pretoria is a four-year degree that includes a foundation year providing academic support before students join the mainstream three-year Ecology programme. The extended programme builds the mathematical, biological, and academic literacy foundations needed to succeed in ecology study, ensuring talented students from under-resourced school backgrounds have access to this important environmental science discipline. Career outcomes match the standard BSc Ecology programme, covering conservation, environmental assessment, wildlife management, and ecological research across South Africa's remarkable natural environments.
