The course is delivered at University Centre Myerscough and awarded by the University of Central Lancashire. The course will explore a wide range of zoology and animal science topics with an applied focus on broad themes around species ecology and biology, genetics, evolution and the latest global research. The course will prepare students for a wide range of careers throughout the zoological and animal industries.
The first year of the course provides an introduction to animal anatomy and physiology, behaviour, species ecology and evolution, and biodiversity. The themes of species biology, wildlife legislation and policy, genetics and evolution, and field research are further developed in the second year of the course. Students will also have the option to choose one module from animal population dynamics, global wildlife conservation, international zoo management, or ecological survey techniques. In the final year of the course, students will complete a fieldwork module and a comprehensive research project alongside studying modules on zoological research and applied ecology.
Learning activities on the course are diverse, including lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions, and workshops. Students are expected to undertake extensive independent study and research to support lectures, seminars, and assessments. Group work and group presentations form an important part of the course. Students will have access to specialist IT hardware and software, an online learning environment, and a reference facility.
Students will complete a variety of assessments including examinations and tests, practical assessments, essays, presentations, reports, and group work.
There is no formal professional accreditation for this course. All students are encouraged to pursue membership of the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) and the British Society of Animal Science (BSAS).
