Bachelor of Science Advanced - Research (Honours) Zoology

Zoology is the study of the diversity of animals – their evolution, form, function, behaviour and ecology. Animals are an integral part of natural systems and they also have a major impact on humans as parasites and as pests competing for our food. Zoologists investigate the interactions of animals with plants – which ultimately are the source of nutrients and shelter – and with microbes, which enable many animals to effectively utilise plants as food. Zoological study can be undertaken at the level of the whole animal, down to the level of cell biology and biochemical processes and their genetic control.
