Zoology Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Zoology Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Zoology is the study of animal life, from whole animals and populations through tissues to their cells and molecular structures. Zoologists are concerned with the conservation of biodiversity. They also look at the behavioural patterns of animals, animal diseases and how they survive in their natural habitats. Zoology graduates find work for example in zoos, in wildlife conservation and management, in wildlife documentary or they go on to study Veterinary Science.

This programme is available with either a Year in China or a Year Abroad. The Year in China offers undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), following XJTLU's BA China Studies degree classes. XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. The Year Abroad offers students the opportunity to spend a full academic year studying at one of our partner universities around the world, following a mixture of culture and/or discipline-related modules. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China or a Year Abroad you will have the opportunity to apply after you arrive at Liverpool.
