BSc Zoology Aberystwyth University

Program Description

Zoologists apply their scientific skills to understand animal life in all its diversity and complexity, and at all scales, from cells, to organisms, to ecosystems. On the BSc Zoology degree at Aberystwyth University you'll also develop a solid foundation of transferable scientific skills, as evidenced by our Royal Society of Biology accreditation. Equipped with these skills, youll develop your expertise in vertebrate and invertebrate zoology, and will choose from a wide range of specialist modules in areas including animal behaviour, marine and freshwater biology, parasitology and wildlife conservation. You'll develop advanced skills in zoology research and ultimately conduct your own independent zoology research project. You’ll do all this within the wild and beautiful setting of West Wales, which is home to bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic grey seals, pine martens, otters, ospreys and red kites. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to study zoology on residential field courses further afield, including the hyperdiverse tropical rainforest.
