Course summary

This course represents a unique opportunity for you to study a wider range of species than those covered in traditional animal science degrees. Your learning will focus on the biology of exotic species, namely non-domestic and non-UK wildlife. Your lectures will cover major scientific principles, including anatomy and physiology, behaviour, genetics, ecology and nutrition. You’ll apply these principles to the management and conservation of zoo species. You will have access to our modern on-campus Animal Unit which houses around 250 animals of 70 different species. This course will give you a sound knowledge and understanding of animal biology, with a particular focus on zoo species. We offer three animal science degrees, each with a different focus: BSc (Hons) Zoo Biology (this course) / BSc (Hons) Zoo Biology (with foundation year) - focuses on captive housed zoo animals and exotic species. BSc (Hons) Animal Biology / BSc (Hons) Animal Biology (with foundation year) - focuses on managed domestic species such as companion, working and farm animals. BSc (Hons) Zoology / BSc (Hons) Zoology (with foundation year) - covers a diverse range of invertebrate and vertebrate species in relation to their biology, evolution, taxonomy and identification.
