Overview

The first three years of your Zoology With Ornithology (Hons) course from Bangor University develop your understanding of the behaviour, ecology and characteristics and distribution of birds, alongside aspects of conservation management and practices.

Bangor University benefits from a team of staff specialising in research into avian evolution, behaviour, physiology, flight, navigation, and conservation. Additional expert input into teaching comes from the BTO, whose Welsh office is located at the University. This also provides opportunities for volunteering and fieldwork with BTO, such as analysing bird song or examining bird migration patterns.

Careers

Specialising in zoology with ornithology gives you a better chance of pursuing a career researching or working with birds since most positions in the field require at least a Bachelor’s degree.

Whether you choose to become a generalist or focus on a particular species, you could find work in avian care, welfare, conservation or research, for example, surveying, recording and reporting on bird activity and habitats.

A Zoology degree from Bangor University not only teaches you how to care for and conserve animal life. It will give you the knowledge and skills to work in countless careers: from journalism to ecological consultancy, and management to scientific research.
