Course summary

Our BSc (Hons) Zoology degree offers an interdisciplinary approach for studying the subject. Youll cover a wide range of different issues and topics, examining the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of animals, while discovering the ways these areas have shaped animal evolution and behaviour and how systems biology brings together these areas. Whether you pursue areas like animal evolution and behaviour, movement physiology and ecology, the genetics of animal populations, or population biology of tropical animals, youll find a practical focus to your studies. Youll learn a wide range of field, laboratory and analytical skills, which are not only vital for the study of zoology but will prove invaluable for your future career. And, while our laboratories and equipment are excellent, we know that theres no substitute for learning in the field – so you may have the opportunity to take part in field courses and project work across Europe and in Africa. Our zoology degree also provides the option of spending an extra year expanding your horizons, either studying with one of our partner universities overseas, or working on a placement with a business, government agency or a charity.

Career prospects

Biological sciences graduates may go on to a variety of subject-specific careers in the biological, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, in medical, public health and environmental services or in teaching or research.

Zoology graduates may find employment across a wide range of sectors including research laboratories, medical communications, pharmaceutical companies, environmental consultancies, wildlife and nature conservation organisations.

Our zoology degree has been designed to equip you with transferable skills that may also be applied to non-subject-specific career pathways such as in management, local government, teaching or the civil service. For those who wish to continue their studies, there is a range of biology and conservation postgraduate programmes here at Manchester Met.
