Zoology, the science of animals, equips you with a comprehensive understanding of animal biology across terrestrial, marine, and freshwater environments. You will build in-depth knowledge of ecology, evolution, physiology, anatomy, behaviour, and genetics, while developing sought-after laboratory skills in animal behaviour, molecular biology, and cellular biology—essential for employment and postgraduate study.Explore diverse habitats on our doorstep through field studies, including UK and international residential courses. Enhance employability via a placement year, an extended final-year research project linked to staff research, self-study in our library and LABPlus facility, and partnerships with organisations like the Wildlife Trusts, Natural History Museums, National Marine Aquarium, and Dartmoor National Park.
