Course Overview

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.

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.
