Overview

Zoology is the study of animals at all levels, from their evolutionary origins, molecular and cellular biology to their behaviour, ecology, and evolution . Zoologists conduct research in the laboratory and field to address wide-ranging issues in conservation biology, animal welfare, farming, disease, and government policy.

Most of us are drawn to Zoology by a fascination with animals and a curiosity-based drive to understand how they function, behave and evolve. However, the study of zoology is more important in the 21st century than ever. As a Zoologist you will have the opportunity to play a part in understanding how animals interact with their environment, how organisms play a part in various ecosystems, and how we as humans can try and avoid damaging the wildlife of the world.
