“The experience of learning about freshwater and forest ecosystems, as well as botany, through...

...practical sessions in the fields around the Ayamdigut Campus in Whitehorse, and visiting remote areas while camping in tents for several days, was impressive. There are also many opportunities to attend lectures by professionals working in the field of natural sciences, which expose me to potential job opportunities after graduation. I am planning to advance my studies in the Northern Environmental and Conservation Sciences Degree program, seeking further learning opportunities”
