Course summary

Zoology is the scientific study of all forms of animal life, including how they behave, reproduce, evolve, and interact with other species and their environment. In the first year, all students study core biology modules, giving you a strong foundation in the subject. In later Stages, you will study specialist zoology topics, such as animal behaviour and physiology; biodiversity and conservation; vertebrate biology; and entomology. You will enjoy a bird and insect identification field course, as well as a week-long project-based residential field course.
