Course Overview

Immerse yourself in the theory and practical application of zoology, for a fulfilling career conserving the biodiversity of our planet and protecting animal species across the globe.

You’ll explore how animals evolve, interact, and function, how human activity affects animal populations, how zoos contribute to conservation, and much more. You could see the impact of conservation first-hand on an optional trip to South Africa, and a residential field course with a UK zoo.

The foundation year will provide the ideal springboard to the rest of the program, supporting you in developing an understanding of scientific principles and key practical skills.

You’ll learn from experienced animal scientists, conservationists, and industry practitioners to develop field and laboratory skills that are in great demand by employers.

You could broaden your knowledge by spending one semester in Canada or the USA, studying at one of our partner institutions. You’ll have the option to spend a year in industry, either in the UK or overseas, to gain additional experience.

Our facilities provide fantastic opportunities to develop real-life experiences. These include a range of laboratories, a 70-species Animal Collection, and commercial animal therapy centers. Our 360-hectare estate is ideal for learning a range of survey techniques and for studying British wildlife.
