本课程采用跨学科方法进行动物生物学研究。您将研究动物的分子生物学，遗传学和生理学，并发现它们影响动物进化和行为的方式。您将有机会获得广泛的，可用于动物学研究的宝贵的现场，实验室和分析技能。典型的研究领域将包括动物进化与行为，运动生理学和生态学，鸟类的认知和交流，无脊椎动物分类学和生理学，脊椎动物进化，动物种群遗传学以及热带动物种群生物学。在课程期间，您将有机会参加欧洲，非洲和南美的各种现场课程和项目工作。毕业生可以继续从事生物，制药和农用化学工业，医学，公共卫生和环境服务或教学或研究的各种特定主题的职业。
Our BSc (Hons) Zoology degree offers an interdisciplinary approach for studying the subject. You’ll cover a wide range of different issues and topics, examining the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of animals, while discovering the ways these areas have shaped animal evolution and behaviour and how systems biology brings together these areas.<br><br>Whether you pursue areas like animal evolution and behaviour, movement physiology and ecology, the genetics of animal populations, or population biology of tropical animals, you’ll find a practical focus to your studies. You’ll learn a wide range of field, laboratory and analytical skills, which are not only vital for the study of zoology but will prove invaluable for your future career.<br><br>And, while our laboratories and equipment are excellent, we know that there’s no substitute for learning in the field – so you may have the opportunity to take part in field courses and project work across Europe and in Africa.<br><br>Our zoology degree also provides the option of spending an extra year expanding your horizons, either studying with one of our partner universities overseas, or working on a placement with a business, government agency or a charity.
