Zoology is a fascinating area in the field of biology that embraces the science of animal life. If you are fascinated looking at animals and their behaviours, you may try studying Zoology as a major subject.
The students who have completed Zoology as a major subject at the first two years (Level 3 and 4) are eligible for selection to a Honor’s degree programme in Zoology at the end of the second year (level 4).
We offer Bachelor of Science (Hon’s) in Zoology with a comprehensive array of courses which come under the discipline of Zoology. Those who have gained fundamental knowledge in zoology, with Animal Life and Diversity, Biogeography, Animal Form and Function, Ecology, Animal Development and Animal Behaviour, are introduced to more comprehensive and diverse aspects of zoology including Wildlife and conservation biology, Fish biology, Ornithology, Parasitology, Entomology, mammalian biology, immunology, Molecular Biology and Environmental Toxicology with special emphasis on applications within the Hon’s degree programme. Techniques in zoology introduces the students to a blend of fundamental and novel tools while research methodology and the research project in zoology trains the students to acquire research skills.
