Environmental protection has become a priority for governments worldwide, creating demand for skilled scientists who possess both zoological expertise and an understanding of conservation challenges at local and global levels. Our BSc Zoology with Conservation program provides comprehensive training in traditional zoological disciplines like taxonomy, morphology, physiology, and cell biology, while focusing particularly on animal ecology - covering biodiversity, behavior, and evolutionary processes. The curriculum includes specialized modules that explore conservation principles and practical solutions for environmental protection. This program bridges academic study with real-world conservation through collaborative projects with environmental organizations. Students develop both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills in zoology and conservation, along with valuable transferable abilities for careers in this field. Our university has long been recognized as a leader in ecological studies, enhanced by our proximity to Snowdonia National Park - an ideal location for this program. Students enjoy access to diverse ecosystems including terrestrial, marine, and freshwater environments for fieldwork, which forms a core component of the degree. Bangor hosts important institutions like Natural Resources Wales, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, and the RSPB, all of which maintain strong connections with our university and contribute to course content.
