Zoology, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

The diversity of the natural world, from insects to mammals, is central to the Zoology programme at Royal Holloway, University of London, which explores animal evolution, physiology, and ecological roles. Students develop insights into animal behaviour, function, and environmental interactions through a blend of field and laboratory learning, utilising advanced facilities like mass spectrometry and aquaria, alongside nearby biodiverse sites such as Windsor Great Park for fieldwork.Ranked 25th in the UK for research output, the Department of Biological Sciences offers a supportive environment with small-group tuition and a flexible curriculum. In the final year, students undertake a research project, gaining transferable skills for careers in environmental monitoring and conservation. Options include field courses in marine biology and ecology, plus a year in industry after the second year to apply knowledge in real-world settings. This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, enhancing its professional value.
