This Bachelor of Science program in Zoology with Marine Zoology provides comprehensive training in general zoology, covering animal diversity, behavior, evolution, ecology, development, and morphology. You'll develop specialized expertise in marine invertebrate conservation, physiology, and behavior through engaging coursework. The program delivers rigorous zoological education and practical skills essential for careers in zoology and marine science. Students benefit from an exceptional combination of laboratory work and field studies, particularly focused on marine life, thanks to Bangor's prime location along the Menai Strait. Fieldwork forms a crucial component of this program and is highly valued by all participants. Additionally, you'll acquire valuable transferable skills including data analysis, teamwork, presentation techniques, and IT proficiency. Our facilities include a dedicated Zoology Museum housing extensive vertebrate and invertebrate collections, plus a large marine aquarium. Situated near Snowdonia National Park and pristine beaches, our location offers perfect conditions for studying Zoology with Marine Zoology. Our curriculum integrates cutting-edge research findings, particularly in marine zoology specialties like endocrinology, organismal development, growth patterns, energy dynamics, evolutionary adaptation, phylogeography, and genetics. Options include a Placement Year or International Experience Year.
