This program offers a distinctive chance to explore a broader variety of species than conventional animal science degrees typically include. Your studies will concentrate on exotic species biology, particularly non-domestic and non-native wildlife. Course content will address core scientific concepts such as anatomy, physiology, behavior, genetics, ecology, and nutrition. You'll implement these concepts in zoo species management and conservation efforts. Our contemporary on-campus Animal Unit, home to approximately 250 animals across 70 species, will be available for your practical learning. The program provides comprehensive knowledge of animal biology with special emphasis on zoo species.
We provide three specialized animal science degrees: BSc (Hons) Zoo Biology (this program) / BSc (Hons) Zoo Biology (with foundation year) - specializes in zoo-housed exotic species. BSc (Hons) Animal Biology / BSc (Hons) Animal Biology (with foundation year) - focuses on domesticated species including pets, working animals, and livestock. BSc (Hons) Zoology / BSc (Hons) Zoology (with foundation year) - examines diverse invertebrate and vertebrate species regarding their biology, evolution, classification, and identification.
