Overview
The Zoology (Hons) course at University College Cork is a core discipline for the biological sciences and for the environmental and earth-system sciences. With wildlife and habitats under continuing pressure, zoology is an important area of study that can have a real world impact.
Students will learn about all animal biology, from microscopic, single-celled forms to complex forms such as fish, reptiles, birds and mammals. We put a lot of emphasis on providing students with scientific training and transferrable skills including lab, numerical and field skills, so they can evaluate science and help contribute to policy and conservation.
Skills and Careers Information
The skills developed during the degree will be attractive to a wide range of employers. Zoologists work as scientists with government departments such as in aquaculture and fisheries, wildlife, conservation, forestry services, wildlife parks and nature reserves. They work as environmental policy officers, in environmental consultancies, in print and film media, in science journalism, as museum curators, education officers, in non-governmental organisations and with industry, including food producers. Many graduates continue as research scientists.
