Course summary

This course spans evolution, genetics and behaviour, through to the biodiversity and climate crises. You’ll learn about microbes, invertebrates, birds, fish, mammals and humans, while putting your skills and knowledge into practice in the lab and the field.Zoology is the study of animals at every scale. We study everything from anatomy and physiology to behaviour and evolution, whilst also studying the impacts of biodiversity, conservation and trade.Our courses in zoology span microbes, invertebrates, birds, fish, mammals and humans and allow you to focus on tropical, urban, terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems.You’ll learn how all kinds of animals evolved and why there are so many species, how their physiology works, how they behave, and how they respond to global change. You’ll discover how they transmit disease and how their biodiversity is maintained and lost. You’ll use this knowledge to help us to address important issues such as global wildlife trade, the conservation of biodiversity, disease outbreaks and maintaining ecosystems that deliver freshwater, recreation and food to humans.Optional placement year, Study abroad
