Course Overview

From the smallest organisms, birds and primates, to biodiversity, aquatic biology, habitat management and the threat of climate change, on our BSc Zoology youll study a wide range of fascinating animals and how they interact with their environments. The course covers the evolution, anatomy, physiology, behavior and ecology of animals, along with how to care for and conserve them. You will gain an expert understanding of modern zoology in all its forms, from conservation management to paleoanthropology to molecular biology. With a strong emphasis on practical work, you will have plenty of opportunities to work in the field, both locally and overseas, to gain valuable skills for your career. The degree is taught by leading biologists, ecologists, zoologists, biomedical scientists and anthropologists who have links to the Wetlands Centre in Barnes, international wildlife trusts and citizen science projects such as the River fly Partnership. Our zoology academics from the Department of Life Sciences are dedicated to understanding and improving the living world through ground-breaking advances in scientific research. They have discovered new chameleon species in Tanzania, reintroduced Iguanas back into the wild, and studied parkour athletes as a way to find out how apes travel effectively through tree-tops.
