**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 programme, 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 which 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 experience. These include a range of laboratories, a 70-species Animal Collection, and commercial animal therapy centres. Our 360-hectare estate is ideal for learning a range of survey techniques and for studying British wildlife.

Our modules are developed regularly to reflect student and industry demands, ensuring you’re well prepared to enter skilled employment on graduation. The majority of courses are comprised of both compulsory and optional modules, the latter of which you'll be able to choose from to suit your interests and career goals. Most courses also include work placement learning, to help you gain essential experience for your future. Modules include: Foundation Skills Development, Academic Skills in Practice (Internship), Reviewing Literature, Foundation Animal Studies, Foundation Biological Principles, Systems Biology, Animal Genetics, Animal Health and Disease, Animal Nutrition, Biodiversity, Animal Behaviour and Welfare, Fundamental Skills for Zoology, Conservation Biology, Undergraduate Research Process, Behavioural and Evolutionary Ecology, Dissertation, Wildlife Management and Conservation Genetics, Biodiversity and Conservation. Modules are sometimes subject to change. Optional modules change each year - you can attend introductory sessions before deciding which ones to study.
