Zoology, BSc (Hons)

Zoology addresses critical global challenges through a three-year degree based in a state-of-the-art Life Sciences building. Students explore animal life from cellular biology to ecosystems, gaining insights into evolution, conservation, and behaviour via diverse modules. Expert teaching, combined with field trips to the UK, Spain, and Belize, equips graduates for careers in veterinary medicine, conservation, animal management, and beyond. In the final year, undertake an independent research project, with options for a Belize trip on tropical ecology or study abroad in Europe or Australasia. Our collaboration with Marwell Wildlife further enhances specialised expertise.Modules include foundational topics like Chemistry of Life and Human Genome in year one, progressing to Animal Behaviour, Evolution, and Conservation Management in year two, and Biodiversity in year three. Assessment methods encompass coursework, laboratory reports, essays, projects, presentations, and exams, fostering skills for post-graduation success.
