Zoology

About this programme

Zoology is the study of animals: how they live, evolve, behave, and interact with the environment. On this course, you'll explore everything from animal physiology and genetics to conservation and ecology, while developing the practical skills needed to work in wildlife, environmental science, and research. At the University of Lincoln, you'll learn through hands-on fieldwork, lab experience, and real-world projects designed to prepare you for careers in conservation, animal science, and beyond. This course combines scientific depth with practical experience, helping you graduate ready for work, further study, or specialist careers in the animal and environmental sectors. Career-focused from day one Build skills employers look for: field research, data analysis, lab techniques, and scientific communication. Hands-on fieldwork and lab experience Apply your knowledge in real environments, not just classrooms. Designed for real-world impact Learn how zoology connects to global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and conservation. Flexible learning pathways Shape your degree around your interests, whether that’s behaviour, ecology, or physiology. Supportive learning environment Smaller cohorts and accessible lecturers mean more personalised support. This course is built to help you understand animals in depth, and use that knowledge in real-world contexts. By the end of the course, you’ll know how to study, analyse, and protect animals. Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of Animals is concerned with the principles of the diversity of anatomical form and
