IELTS 6.0 (with a minimum 5.5 in each component) or equivalent
Our BSc in Zoology will develop your knowledge of concepts at the forefront of zoological science. Practical training will equip you with many of the subject specific, personal and practical skills that you will need for your future career. You will learn about biological processes, their behaviour and how they react with their environment.
This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the biology of animals. You will learn about animals, the links between them and their environment, and key aspects of zoological phenomena from molecular to ecological levels.
You will have the opportunity to go on several field trips over the duration of this programme, which will provide real world experiences and examples to learn from. You will only pay a modest, non-refundable administration fee for the residential field courses, which are otherwise 100% subsidised by the university.
This programme has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
