Zoology focuses entirely on the study of animals. This program provides comprehensive training in general zoology, examining animal diversity in form and function, along with the evolution and ecology of major animal groups. Students can select from various specialized modules covering both invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, including applied topics like parasitology and animal-environment interactions. The BSc Zoology (with Foundation Year) integrates a preparatory year with the standard three-year honors degree, forming a cohesive four-year curriculum. This structure offers a solid foundation for university-level science education, equipping students with essential knowledge, skills, and confidence. The program is particularly suited for applicants who fall slightly short of the three-year degree entry requirements or would benefit from additional preparatory study in science. Upon completing the Foundation Year, students advance to the first year of the Zoology degree. At Bangor University, learners receive instruction from dedicated faculty and gain access to the institution's wide-ranging support services and resources. Optional Placement Year and International Experience Year available.
