Course Overview

This three-year BSc degree course puts birds at the forefront of your studies; birds have a high profile as model organisms in zoology and are the focus of growing conservation concerns due to the alarming decline of many species. There is a growing demand for professional scientists with specialized knowledge and skills relating to birds.

This BSc in Zoology with Ornithology prepares you for work as a science professional as we combine traditional zoology with an emphasis on avian biology and diversity. We deliver this alongside aspects of conservation management and practices. We will provide you with broad zoological training, with a special focus on both pure and applied aspects of animal life, as well as specialist ornithological knowledge and skills. You will have the opportunity to take part in field activities in the local North Wales area, as well as an ornithology field trip abroad.

You will have the opportunity to acquire a broad range of laboratory and field skills, at home and abroad, and all the transferable skills associated with scientific training, including skills in data analysis, writing and presentation skills, IT skills, and experience in independent and group-working. You will have access to a spread of Zoology modules covering vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as a suite of specialist modules on the exciting area of ornithology.
