You’ll also conduct your own individual research and write a thesis which will be assessed. Careers: Following this course there are a range of exciting opportunities to move into employment in zoology-related positions. Potential graduate careers could include zookeepers, animal technicians, research assistants, conservation managers or policy makers, natural history collection technicians and much more. In recent years we've seen a number of our graduates move onto further studies at master’s and PhD level.
