As a Zoology student at the University of Leeds, you’ll study everything from animal physiology and behaviour, to how animals are shaped by evolution and their environment. With the modern world encountering a series of global challenges such as climate change, food insecurity, and biodiversity conservation, knowledge and practical skills in Zoology are in high demand. Explore the effects of climate change on wild animals, how they adapt, and develop methods for sustainable livestock production.

Field courses will build on your practical lab and experimental design skills. In your final year, you will be tasked with completing your own fully independent research project. Throughout the programme, you will develop team-working, independent-working, problem-solving and communication skills, all of which are in demand by employers.

The integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training on key topics, with an intensive focus on the development and practice of advanced research skills. You may also choose to apply for our 3-year BSc and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance.
