Wildlife Biologist Qualifications?

What GCSE's and Higher's do you need to be a Wildlife Biologist?Wildlife Biologist Qualifications?
Most wildlife biologist complete a Bachelor's degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science, Wildlife Management, or something similar and then they do a master's in wildlife biology as well. There is one organization, The Wildlife Society (www.wildlife.org), that certifies people as wildlife biologists by a combination of course work and work experience.


Honestly though, to get a job as a wildlife biologist you should have a great academic record but even more importantly you need experience in the field. While in college it is very imporant to be active in the student chapter of The Wildlife Society, volunteer to help graduate students and professors out on their research, and intern or work part time if possible. The field is competitive and having the experience will help you land a job!
