Our BSc Zoology degree will develop your knowledge of concepts at the forefront of zoological science. You will learn about biological processes, their behaviour and how they react with their environment.

Accredited, comprehensive learning

The Zoology programme, accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the biology of animals. You will learn about animals, the links between them and their environment, and key aspects of zoological phenomena from molecular to ecological levels.

Hands-on experience

Practical training will equip you with many of the subject specific, personal and practical skills that you will need for your future career. You will have the opportunity to go on several field trips over the duration of this programme, which will provide real world experiences and examples to learn from. You will only pay a modest, non-refundable administration fee for the residential field courses, which are otherwise 100% subsidised by the university.

Zoology graduates can enter a wide range of vocations in biological or life sciences. These include careers related to zoological sciences training such as science communication and publishing, science administration, zoo work, wildlife conservation and management. Other graduates may go on to work in the pharmaceutical industries, agrochemicals or medical technology as well as research institutes, government agencies and as animal physiologists.
