BSc (Hons) Zoology with Foundation Year

... United Kingdom
... University of Salford

Course Overview

Learn to understand animals, their behaviour, their interactions with each other, and the environment. This course will provide you with a strong foundation in biology and environmental issues, allowing you to progress onto a BSc (Hons) Zoology degree course at the University of Salford, which is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. 

It is ideal if you want to develop your career along a zoological pathway but have a non-scientific background, or if you don’t meet the entry requirements for direct entry to an honours degree. This course may also be attractive if you are returning to education or if you wish to change career direction.On successful completion of the foundation year, you will progress on to the full honours degree, where you will continue to build specialised scientific knowledge in the areas. 

Study zoology 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:

  • Gain a broad, basic knowledge of biological principles to prepare you for more advanced study

  • Increase your knowledge and understanding of basic biology and other aspects of environmental studies
