FORMAT D'ÉTUDE
Sur le campus
Le BSc en zoologie avec études professionnelles est l'étude des animaux, des invertébrés les plus simples aux plus grands mammifères terrestres ou marins. Les animaux simples fournissent souvent des modèles pour étudier des espèces supérieures et plus complexes (y compris les humains) et aident à conduire la recherche fondamentale qui transcende les frontières du sujet.
Les animaux interagissent entre eux et avec leur environnement, formant des relations complexes telles que les zoologistes ont besoin d'une large compréhension du monde vivant, des processus de la vie et du règne animal. Il est important de noter que les maladies zoonotiques constituent une menace croissante pour la santé humaine, par exemple Covid-19. Des progrès passionnants sont réalisés dans la biologie et le comportement des animaux, la santé et le bien-être des animaux et la gestion des communautés animales, les maladies infectieuses émergentes, la conservation, la désextinction par clonage et l'utilisation de technologies de télédétection pour aider à la conservation et lutter contre le changement climatique. le moment idéal pour étudier la zoologie.
Each year, we offer a range of scholarships and prizes for new students.

Assessment
Details of assessments associated with this course are outlined below:
How you are assessed will vary according to the Learning Outcomes of each module. Some modules are assessed solely through project work or written assignments. Others are assessed through a combination of coursework and end-of-semester examinations. Details of how each module is assessed are outlined in the Student Handbook which is provided to all students during their first year induction.
Graduates are qualified to take up both scientific and non-scientific careers. These positions encompass areas of innovative research and development of new products, advisory, and consultancy work, particularly in companies or organizations concerned with animal and plant health, environmental management, pharmaceutical products, and biotechnology.
Graduates pursue careers in teaching, nature conservation, and laboratory-based posts in biomedical, industrial, pharmaceutical, academic, and government institutions as well as in universities and colleges of higher education. The remainder undertakes further training in areas such as computing, administration, and management or medicine (human or veterinary), developing their skills from a sound scientific background. Further training also helps them to find employment in a variety of non-biological careers, including public service administration, industrial management, banking, accountancy, and computing.
Employers are looking for graduates with generic skills of communication, problem-solving, data analysis, social skills, a range of interests, and a record of success. We believe that a degree in Zoology will help our students to develop these skills. For further information on careers see the Institute of Biology website. Please note that the same careers are open to both Zoology and Biology graduates.
