Code:
KT3096.1
A Bachelor of Science (Zoology) recognises the increased demand for scientific knowledge of how to conserve, protect and care for animals, including native wildlife, and companion and production animals. It will enable you to develop an in-depth scientific understanding of how animals function and interact with their environment; from their ecology and evolution; to physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organs systems, as well as the structure and function of biomolecules and cells. The key learning and research areas embodied in this degree are ecology, evolution, physiology, growth, reproduction, genetics, and conservation biology.
On-campus animal facilities include those for reptiles, small marsupials, small rodents, horses, sheep and cattle, as well as over 1,000ha of native, rural and aquatic habitats.
