Course summary

As a Zoology student at the University of Leeds you’ll study everything from animal physiology and behaviour, to how they are shaped by evolution and their environment. With the modern world encountering a series of global challenges such as climate change, food insecurity, and biodiversity conservation, knowledge and practical skills in Zoology are in high demand. Explore the effects of climate change on organisms, how they adapt, and develop methods for sustainable livestock production. Your field courses will build on your practical lab and experimental design skills. In your final year you will be tasked with completing your own fully independent research project. This 3 year BSc can also be converted into an integrated Masters (MBiol) with an optional additional year of specialist training, to study advanced research topics, carry out your own extended research project and have the chance to study savannah ecology and conservation in Kenya.mance.  Course highlights
