Program Description

BSc in Zoology is the study of animals, from the simplest invertebrates to the largest terrestrial or marine mammals. Simple animals often provide models for studying higher, more complex species (including humans) and help drive basic research that transcends the subject boundaries.

Animals interact with each other and their environment, forming complex relationships such that zoologists need a broad understanding of the living world, life processes, and the animal kingdom. Importantly, zoonotic diseases are an ever-growing threat to human health, e.g. Covid-19. Exciting progress is being made in animal biology and behavior, animal health and welfare, and in the management of animal communities, emerging infectious diseases, conservation, de-extinction, and addressing climate change making this the perfect time to study Zoology.
