Overview

Practical hands-on experience is an important aspect of the Zoology (Hons) course at Liverpool John Moores University and we have a wealth of local facilities and fieldwork sites on our doorstep. These include three major zoological collections (Chester Zoo, Knowsley Safari Park and the Blue Planet Aquarium), as well as the diverse habitat sites of the North Wales and Lancashire coasts and inland ecosystems in Snowdonia and the Lake District.

Zoology is the scientific study of animals, both living and extinct. It encompasses all aspects of biology, from biochemistry and cell biology to ecology and behaviour, and examines animals in the context of their evolution and their environment, allowing you to specialise in your own areas of interest via placements, projects and modules in levels 5 and 6.

Career

You will enjoy varied career opportunities both in the UK and overseas with a BSc (Hons) in Zoology.

Some of our students continue on to postgraduate research once they have graduated, while others enter careers as diverse as clinical and veterinary science, animal physiotherapy, animal training, ecological consultancy, animal welfare and conservation or wildlife education. Others choose to go into teaching or lecturing.
