Science (Zoology), Bachelor

The Bachelor of Science program cultivates comprehension, critical reasoning, and enhancement of the natural world through structured observation, experimentation, modelling, and computation. A superior science education at UWA provides students with highly sought-after skills valued by global employers, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to humanity's pressing challenges.

The Zoology major will provide you with the opportunity to study animals and their habitats including Western Australia's unique fauna. These habitats are diverse, and range from deserts through to temporary wetlands and rainforests. Zoologists discover the solutions to the problems presented by these habitats. This major will provide you with a sound knowledge and understanding of animal structure and function and the evolutionary processes that have engendered animal diversity. Zoologists also study physiology, reproduction, behaviour, community ecology and molecular genetics. Zoology underpins society's interest in conservation and marine science including major contributions to current research in fisheries and ecosystem management. It is envisaged that there will be up to two overnight field trips (cost of food and accommodation of up to \$200 for around four nights to be borne by the student).
