Great social life, good options for student societies, a lot of student support. A lot of professionals teaching on the course and it gave me exactly what I wanted for my career progression into genetics

What students say about zoology

Studying at Birmingham Newman University has been a really positive experience overall. One of the best aspects is the strong sense of community — it’s a smaller university, which makes it feel more supportive and personal. Lecturers are approachable and genuinely invested in students’ progress, and it’s much easier to build relationships with both staff and classmates compared to larger universities. Another highlight is the campus environment. It’s compact and easy to navigate, with a friendly atmosphere that helps you feel comfortable quickly. The focus on student wellbeing and support services is also a big plus, especially during busy or stressful periods. That said, there are areas that could be improved. Because it’s a smaller university, facilities and resources can feel a bit limited compared to bigger institutions. There could also be more variety in extracurricular activities and societies to give students a wider university experience. Overall, it’s a great place to study if you value a close-knit, supportive environment, but expanding resources and opportunities would make the experience even better.

What students say about zoology

Having come to this campus, the atmosphere and pure friendliness of the staff is unmatched. being a mature student, i had worries and doubts about fitting in and falling behind, however, the uni of Sussex has supported and welcomed me in every way possible. the facilities provided are unmatched, with a variety of places to help give the best uni experience and education. and the societies at this school are so versatile! the only potential critic i have is having a cheaper option for shopping on site, but that's not much in contrast to what i and many others have been given :)

What students say about zoology

The lecturers are lovely and the course material is good. I think the study could be somewhat more guided, though that may just be the reality of university. I think neurodiverse students, such as myself, would benefit greatly from more explcit and personal guidance

What students say about zoology

Best aspects: The university provides a supportive learning environment with helpful lecturers and good academic resources. The campus is generally welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to develop skills both academically and personally. Worst aspects / Improvements: One issue that needs improvement is the heating and hot water system, as it does not always work properly. At times, students only have access to cold water, which can be uncomfortable and difficult, especially for students who are sensitive or have health issues related to cold temperatures. Ensuring reliable heating and hot water would greatly improve student comfort and wellbeing.

The Old Aberdeen Campus is beautiful and has so much history, which makes it quite an inspiring place to be. The lack of funding to departments is noticeable though, and the lecturers are clearly strained as a result.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

What students say about zoology

In 1 semester I had time of explorations and many curious finds. Great course, nice people both students and the staff. Help whenever I need and facilities that put other unis in the dust. The student union adds so much room for opportunities and helping me perfect my social skills. Overall I'm having great time

Limited amount of shops in Lincoln, which makes it get a bit stale quick, but is still a lovely city with plenty of things to do. Another downside is the fact it is in the middle of nowhere, you have to get trains or coaches if you want to go anywhere else. However, it does have everything you need as a student, with a good night out as well

Studying about Zoology

A zoology degree is the perfect fit for those who have a passion to work with animals. Zoology is the branch of science that studies animals, both living and extinct, examining their physiology, genetics, evolution, taxonomy, behaviour and distribution throughout the globe. Including a mix of both practical and theoretical work, studying zoology will allow you to understand why animals are so important to the world and its ecosystems. Those who graduate with a zoology degree tend to work in research, ecology, conservation, zoos, marine science or as environmental officers.
