Zoology can be applied to the key challenges affecting our planet today, from the effects of global warming on animal life to the ecological impact of populations and animals, and to the survival of endangered species.On your four-year integrated Zoology masters, based in our multi-million pound, state-of-the-art Life Sciences building, you will explore all areas of animal life from cell biology to entire ecosystems, developing an understanding of fields including evolution, conservation, and behaviour through our extensive range of modules.You will have the opportunity to carry out your final-year research project in collaboration with Marwell or a number of other organisations in the UK or abroad. You will be taught by our expert lecturers, whose expertise stretches from evolution and behaviour to gene regulation, neuroscience and development in a variety of animals, and can also gain extensive practical experience from a variety of field trips on offer in the UK, Spain, and Belize.Upon graduation you will be prepared for a broad variety of careers including laboratory or field-based research, jobs in conservation, and in animal management.99% of Biological Sciences graduates were in employment or further study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes 2020/2021)."
