Zoology involves examining animal evolution, biological processes, and their relationships with ecosystems. This field combines anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation to offer a complete perspective on species characteristics and biodiversity. As humans reshape the environment, animals must continually adjust to these transformations. Exploring Earth's remarkable animal variety not only reveals our own beginnings but also helps forecast evolutionary trends. At Lincoln University, zoology courses are led by faculty engaged in cutting-edge research across multiple specialties. The program delivers a wide-ranging zoological education, covering essential topics in contemporary animal studies across various invertebrate and vertebrate species. Fieldwork opportunities allow students to observe wildlife in natural settings during their degree. The curriculum includes two UK-based residential field trips - one mandatory first-year ecology excursion and an optional second-year trip. The university funds travel, lodging, and meals for domestic field studies. Third-year students may choose an international field course, with specifics available in the Features section. The program emphasizes developing scientific methodology and communication abilities. Students can enhance their professional qualifications through an optional work placement between their second and third academic years.
