Bachelor of Zoology and Animal Science

Deakin’s Bachelor of Zoology and Animal Science lets you get hands-on with animals, big and small. Apply the latest zoology theory and research in real-world settings, and develop evidence-based decision-making skills valued by industry.

Interested in a career that cares for the future of our furry and feathered friends?

If you’re fascinated by the way animals behave, adapt, evolve, and survive, you’re not alone. Animal enthusiasts choose Deakin to turn their passion into a rewarding career because of our research-informed teaching and practical approach to learning.

You’ll be challenged to test the theories you discuss in the classroom on living subjects in the lab and field. This gives you a first-hand understanding of the form and function of animals and the underlying mechanisms that influence their ecology and evolution. This course has a strong focus on Australian fauna and its unique importance in the global environment. You will learn broadly about

how animal evolution and ecology respond to changing environments.

As you advance through the course, you’ll be exposed to many unique aspects of zoology including disease ecology, animal sensory neurobiology, and behavior, as well as ecological and conservation genetics. The wide range of core units will broaden your skillset, expanding your career options across the growing zoology and animal science field.
