The course is delivered at University Centre Myerscough and awarded by the University of Lancashire. The course will explore a wide range of zoology and animal science topics with an applied focus on broad themes around species ecology and biology, genetics, evolution and the latest global research. The course will prepare students for a wide range of careers throughout the zoological and animal industries.
The first year of the course provides an introduction to animal anatomy and physiology, behaviour, species ecology and evolution and biodiversity.
