Study animals in their natural habitat – gaining expertise in evolution, physiology, behaviour and conservation – with our BSc Zoology degree.

Not many degrees give you the opportunity to get your hands on a lion’s skull at the University’s own museum, but with our three-year BSc Zoology course, that’s just a tiny part of what’s on offer.

Zoology is the science of animals: whether you’re passionate about one particular group of animals, or interested in the subject as a whole, we’ll help you get the most out of your degree.

Choose BSc Zoology at the University of Reading

  • 92% overall student satisfaction score (National Student Survey, 2020).

  • 94% of students in work or further study within 15 months of graduating (Graduate Outcomes Survey, 2017/18).

  • All graduates are eligible for membership of The Royal Society of Biology and can apply for Chartered Biologist status.

Many other universities offer a one-size-fits-all, shared first year to all students – from ecologists to biochemists – but, at Reading, you’ll study animals from day one.

Enthusiastic academics from the School of Biological Sciences will teach you about animal life at all levels, from the simplest forms through to birds and mammals.

Your zoology studies will explore the breadth of the animal world, including:

  • populations
  • ecosystems
  • animal behaviour
  • evolution
  • biodiversity
  • conservation.

Our wide range of optional modules enables you to follow your specific interests in this vast, fascinating area of study.

Field courses

Field courses are one of the most popular aspects of our degree, offering unique opportunities for real-world, experiential learning.

You’ll develop practical experience of lab and field research techniques, equipping you with essential skills and confidence and boosting your employability.

In your second year, our field courses could take you to a variety of locations across Europe and beyond. For example, our Tropical Zoology Field Course module has allowed students to learn first-hand about the amazing wildlife, biodiversity, and conservation efforts in locations such as:

  • Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands
  • Borneo
  • Madagascar.
The costs of these trips are not included, although all are subsidised.

In your final year, you can complete a field or lab-based research project under expert supervision – an opportunity no longer offered in many universities. Our projects have ranged from studying urban mammals such as hedgehogs, foxes and red kites, to insects and pond or fresh-water animals, to animals in zoos.

Specialist facilities

Your studies will be based in our new £60m Health and Life Sciences building. This space features:

  • research and teaching laboratories

Structural Proteomics

Code:

BI3BR7

Convenor:

DR Kimberly Watson

Summary:

This module will build upon the foundations of 3-dimensional protein structure and how ‘function follows form', laid in the Protein Structure Function module (BI2BL5). Without doubt, Structural ‘omics’ efforts have had an enormous impact on structural databases, but importantly, these efforts equally have had huge technological impact that has altered the way structural biologists and protein biochemists work. The role that Structural Proteomics has played in the first part of the 21st century is equivalent to that played by the Human Genome project in the last part of the 20th century. This module will provide an historical and up-to-date overview of the Structural Proteomics field and its impact on Life Science research.

Title:

Evolutionary Medicine

Code:

BI3EM1

Convenor:

DR Dyan Sellayah

Summary:

Medicine and evolutionary biology can be seen as offering two distinct perspectives on the same biological phenomena. One is concerned with diagnosing and treating ill-health caused by dysfunctional biological processes. The other serves to understand how natural selection has shaped the genetics underlying biological processes of populations and species over generations, yet rarely are the two perspectives integrated. We know that many diseases have a genetic basis, yet understanding how evolutionary factors have shaped the underlying genetic basis for disease may provide important mechanistic insight and reveal new approaches for treatment. In this module, we will apply Darwinian and evolutionary principles to the understanding of the causes of modern medical conditions. We will study how some of the most important medical problems of our time –e.g. obesity, ageing, cancer – have been shaped by our evolutionary history and learn about its implications to population-based health outcomes.

  • Matthew Greenwell enjoyed his BSc Zoology degree so much that he decided to pursue a PhD at Reading, aiming to positively impact the future of butterfly species.

As a teaching resource, the Cole Museum of Zoology was a big selling point, as was the campus itself. In the end, my choice of university came down to where I would rather be studying; the green nature of campus appealed much more to me than an inner-city university.
