Zoology delves into animal evolution, biological functions, and their relationships with ecosystems. This field combines anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation to offer a holistic view of species diversity. As humans reshape the planet, animals continually adapt to these rapid changes. Examining Earth's remarkable animal variety illuminates our own origins and helps forecast evolutionary trajectories. Lincoln's MBio Zoology program investigates animal evolution, biological systems, and environmental interactions. The curriculum weaves together anatomical studies, physiological processes, behavioral patterns, ecological relationships, evolutionary mechanisms, and conservation strategies to deliver thorough knowledge of species. This program offers extensive coverage of contemporary zoology, examining both invertebrate and vertebrate organisms. Throughout their studies, learners can observe animals in natural settings. The course fosters scientific methodology and communication abilities. Participants join two UK residential field excursions to observe wildlife firsthand, tied to core modules: first-year 'Ecology' and second-year 'Conservation Biology'. The University handles transportation, lodging, and meal expenses for domestic field work. Third-year students may opt for an international field course (see Features for cost details). The MBio program features an extra research-focused year with modules designed to enhance transferable skills for academic or professional advancement.
