Our three-year Zoology degree will provide you with in-depth training and a thorough understanding of all aspects of animal life.
Course overview
This Zoology BSc Honours degree focuses on developing your scientific knowledge and provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of zoology. This ensures you graduate prepared for a role in this varied field.
With a combination of both laboratory and field-based teaching, you'll learn and perfect the skills required to succeed in zoology.
Our zoology degree shares its first-year programme with biology and ensures you gain a thorough understanding across a range of topics in zoology and biology. You'll select from modules such as: ecology and conservation, genetics and evolution, diversity of life: form and function.
Teaching methods
You'll be taught via a combination of methods, including:
lectures
lab work
field work
seminars
tutor group sessions
Our field and lab based modules provide you with a firm basis to build practical experiences that enhance the scientific skills expected of a biology graduate.
Your future
Our zoology degree equips you with a wide range of skills to ensure you have many career opportunities available to you.
92% of zoology graduates were in work or further study within six months of completing this degree, and many have found work in commercial or medical laboratory positions, conservation work and animal care as well as choosing to study in more specialist areas such as:
