BSc (Zoology) in Clayton Australia | Monash University

Zoology explores the vast variety of animal life, examining their evolution, anatomy, behaviors, and ecological roles. Animals play crucial roles in natural ecosystems and significantly influence human lives as both parasites and agricultural competitors.
Zoologists analyze how animals interact with plants—their primary source of nutrition and habitat—and with microorganisms that help many species digest plant matter efficiently. Research in zoology spans from whole-organism studies to cellular biology, biochemical processes, and genetic influences.
Your zoology education will unfold in cutting-edge laboratories and the natural outdoor classroom of the Jock Marshall Reserve, complemented by enriching field excursions.
The curriculum covers fundamental concepts like animal evolution, biodiversity, anatomy, and physiology, alongside specialized topics such as Australian vertebrate biology. Advanced courses in evolution, ecology, marine science, and environmental stewardship will deepen your appreciation for animals' global significance.
With a zoology degree, you'll be prepared for careers in wildlife conservation, environmental policy, ecological consulting, museum education, or scientific research at institutions like universities and zoos.
