Are you fascinated by the structure, physiology, distribution and behaviour of animals – from microscopic creatures to turtles and bats?
Our programme will give you an overview of modern zoological thinking, with a strong emphasis on the underlying concepts that shape our understanding of animal diversity.
You’ll receive a thorough grounding in vertebrate and invertebrate biology, plus modules in physiology, behaviour, evolution and neurobiology. Modules in molecular and population genetics, ecology, statistics and immunology are also available.
We place a strong emphasis on fieldwork, with compulsory and optional modules taking students to locations across the UK and internationally, including:
- studying tropical ecology in Kruger Park, South Africa
- day trips that look at various ecological data, such as predator-prey interactions
- studying terrestrial and freshwater aquatic ecosystems in Croatia
