Biological Sciences (Zoology), BSc (Hons)

Zoology seeks to comprehend all aspects of animal life in diverse environments, including terrestrial and marine settings. This encompasses domesticated animals like livestock and pets, as well as pests, disease vectors, and species vital to ecosystems. Regardless of their ecological roles, understanding animal behavior, population dynamics, physiology, and interactions with other species and habitats is essential. Zoology approaches this through an evolutionary lens, integrating fields from biological sciences such as cell and molecular biology, developmental biology, parasitology, animal behavior, population biology, and ecology, with opportunities for hands-on field research.Biological sciences offer flexibility across 12 subject areas, including zoology, allowing students to explore various programs in early years and specialize based on interest. The curriculum develops key skills in data analysis, programming, problem-solving, communication, and independent thinking, preparing graduates to apply their expertise in diverse scientific contexts.
