Zoology explores the biology of all animal species, examining their physical structures, biological functions, genetic makeup, and survival strategies across diverse habitats. This field provides essential insights for protecting ecosystems, managing pests and diseases, safeguarding biodiversity, and rescuing threatened species. Our Biological Sciences (Zoology) program caters to students passionate about animal biology, offering an interdisciplinary curriculum that incorporates the School's research strengths. Alongside exploring animal evolution and classification, you'll delve into ecological systems, physiological processes, and genetic mechanisms. The program highlights our specialized knowledge in animal behavior and neural science, incorporating both subjects into the coursework. With content shaped by our faculty's cutting-edge research (including world-renowned experts), you'll engage with contemporary, globally significant topics in a dynamic academic setting. A distinctive feature includes a third-year placement at research institutions, conservation centers, museums, or industrial labs worldwide - from UK sites to international destinations like Southeast Asia, Australia, or North America. These professional experiences significantly boost both academic development and career opportunities.
