The BSc (Hons) Zoology with Foundation Year at Liverpool John Moores University offers professional accreditation and serves as the perfect starting point if you're passionate about this field but don't yet meet the entry requirements for direct degree-level study.
Zoology involves the scientific examination of living and extinct animals, covering biological disciplines ranging from biochemistry and cellular processes to ecological systems and animal behavior. The program explores species within their evolutionary and environmental contexts, providing opportunities to focus on specific interests through placements, research projects, and specialized modules in the later years.
Hands-on learning forms a crucial component of the curriculum, with access to exceptional local resources and field sites. Nearby facilities include three major animal collections (Chester Zoo, Knowsley Safari Park, and Blue Planet Aquarium), along with diverse habitats along the North Wales and Lancashire coasts, plus inland ecosystems in Snowdonia and the Lake District.
