BSc (Hons) Zoology with Year Abroad

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
  • hunting for dinosaur fossils in Canada
  • studying predator-prey interactions in Somerset.

You’ll carry out an investigative or research project in your final year, working  alongside established researchers in the field.
