BSc (Hons) Zoology with Environmental Management

... United Kingdom
... Harper Adams University

Course Overview

Follow this bespoke route, and you could become a zoologist specialising in environmental management, an ecologist, an environmental consultant or a nature conservation officer. Other careers include research scientists, field trials officers, ecological consultants and nature conservationists. You may find yourself conserving endangered species and habitats, working in disease and pest control, or developing policies and regulations. Zoologists can also improve agricultural crops and livestock, develop and test new drugs, or promote animal welfare and education.

Zoologists study the animal kingdom, from the largest mammals to the smallest insects. Understanding the evolution, behaviour, and communities provides an insight into human and animal life and how they can be sustained in the face of global challenges, from climate change to food security.

Here at Harper Adams, you’ll study whole organisms, not just species, at the molecular level. You’ll learn to study animals’ physiology, behaviour, and how they interact with other species and their environments to preserve essential habitats and manage wildlife in light of climate change.

Zoologists and environmental managers protect endangered species and wildlife from the dangers of habitat loss, disease, invasive species, and climate change and safeguard and learn more about human life in the process.

You’ll study a wide range of species, from farm livestock to companion animals and exotics, to UK wildlife such as insects, with a strong emphasis on field and laboratory work – both skills in demand by employers.

ConservationistsConservationists environmental specialists, entomologists, animal scientists, veterinarians and much more highly experienced staff will teach you.
