Zoology

Queen Mary University of London

From microscopic creatures to turtles and bats, discover the structure, physiology, distribution and behaviour of animals. Explore zoological thinking with this course designed to unpick the concepts that shape our understanding of animal diversity. We’ll give you a thorough grounding in vertebrate and invertebrate biology, as well as physiology, behaviour, evolution and neurobiology. Is there a particular area that interests you? With our wide range of optional modules, you can also explore vital areas of zoology like molecular and population genetics, ecology and immunology. Fascinating Fieldwork Queen Mary has an excellent reputation for research in this area, with projects as diverse as the intelligence of bees to studying how environmental DNA is transported through the landscape. One project even uncovered the truth behind how non-native birds arrived and spread in Britain. We believe you should apply your skills to the real world too. As part of our core and optional modules, you’ll join us on trips across the UK and abroad. You might study tropical ecology in Kruger Park, South Africa. Or perhaps you’ll explore terrestrial and freshwater aquatic ecosystems in Croatia. Where in the world will this degree take you?
