Our FdSc Zoology course is the scientific study of all aspects of animal life.
This course provides an introductory exploration of our planets stunning biodiversity and the evolutionary processes behind them. You will explore a variety of topics which will prepare you for a career in zoology ranging from ecology, animal behaviour, animal welfare, genetics and evolution. Successful completion of this course will set you up to moving onto the optional top-up year where you will investigate and discuss some more in-depth topics such as the role of Zoos and Aquaria in the 21st Century as well as explore some of the modern methods used across a variety of zoological disciplines.
We offer a range of facilities that you will use throughout your studies, including our extensive estate of farmland, our Animal Welfare Centre, which houses over 137 different species from a variety of taxonomic groups and our biosciences laboratory, where you will undertake activities such as microscopy, dissection, genetic analyses and morphometry.
