Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Zoology

Program Description Zoology involves the study of the structure and function of animals, biodiversity and ecology of ecosystems, and conservation biology in order to understand, protect and manage species, habitats and ecosystems. The course aims to provide you with a wide skillset, and covers both local and global terrestrial and aquatic zoological issues whilst encouraging both a theoretical and applied approach to the subject. As part of the course students will have the opportunity to participate in a national and an international field course. This course offers great opportunities for those interested in environment and species management or in becoming part of the global scientific community. The staff have both national and international practitioner and research experience, and use this when delivering teaching. Students will be taught by lecturers with specialist expertise in a number of growing areas of conservation, behaviour, and welfare science and, as well as the national and international fieldcourse, there are further options for studying and researching abroad as part of their degree.
