Overview

Zoology (Hons) degree offered at University of Chester offers fantastic opportunities for those interested in a future career as part of a global scientific community working with both vertebrates or invertebrates (or both!).

Zoology can be defined as the study of the behaviour, structure, physiology, classification and distribution of animals. Starting with a grounding in animal physiology, behaviour, ecology and diversity alongside the basics of data collection, curation and analysis in first year, our course sets you off on your journey to a fulfilling future career with a strong foundation. Higher levels of study in the second and third years allow you to curate your progression to match your interests through choices of modules and subject matter in assessments.

Career

The graduates are well equipped with both transferable skills and the specific skills required for a zoological career. Graduate employment opportunities include working for a local authority or wildlife organisation as well as for national bodies or international NGOs. Work might involve wildlife or captive animal protection/management, policy, sustainability projects or environmental monitoring. Other employment routes include careers in teaching, science education and outreach.
