About the course

Learning in the field and lab, focusing on local and global zoology, you’ll explore the form and function of animals, their adaptions to the environment, interaction, physiology and evolution. You’ll examine animal behaviour from ants to primates and learn how to conduct surveys for a variety of animal populations. You’ll have the opportunity to progress from field training in the UK in Year 1 to field research overseas in Year 2 and field placements in Year 3, spanning the savannah of South Africa, the tropical rainforests of Borneo or mountains of Switzerland. With a focus on small class, practical and field learning, you will be assessed entirely through coursework to gain a truly representative measure of graduate attributes sought by future employers and for postgraduate study. Throughout, you’ll be guided by lecturers awarded for their teaching excellence and media work, and internationally-recognised for their frontline conservation research in bioscience.

　　This course offers short-term internships and year-long placement options – an opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the field, network with employers and obtain academic credit towards your degree. Recent students have been placed with zoos, conservation groups and wildlife rangers. Others have gained valuable teaching experience in schools and participated in research into hedgehog conservation, microbiology of dormice nest-boxes, and seabird surveys using thermal imaging.
