About the course

Zoology is at the centre of cutting-edge research, teaching and impact and addresses many modern issues, such as: disease spillovers from animal populations, animal welfare, impacts of environmental change on animal communities, and benefits to human societies from well-functioning ecosystems. This programme delivers teaching related to animal science, ecology and evolution, with an emphasis on the epidemiology, genetics, field identification skills, data collection, and quantitative analyses necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying animal conservation.

　　The skills, knowledge and credentials of our Zoology graduates enable them to access and excel at a wide range of job types, such as: environmental consulting, academic research, education, science photography and film making, science journalism, conservation, zoo and aquaria management/keeping, business, museum curation, lab managers/technicians, various industries. Our Zoology degree has extensive course sharing with the Marine and Freshwater Biology degree programme in terms of critical skills that are necessary for any future career and animal biology more specifically, but this means that Zoology students also have access to perspectives from aquatic environments. There are a wide range of career options available related to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
