Zoologists are involved in the scientific study of animals including their anatomy, physiology, classification, distribution, behaviour and ecology. Zoology is the study of the biology of animals and, as such, is a broad discipline spanning physiology, evolution, genetics, animal behaviour, ecology, conservation management and much more.
Television programmes such as the BBC series ‘Life of Mammals’ stimulate an interest in pursuing a career with wildlife and provide a window into just one aspect (and provide job opportunities for keen Zoologists who want to make natural history films!) but there is much more to becoming a Zoologist than just the study of one particular group of animals.
With specialist training and transferable skills you can expect to work in zoos, teaching, wildlife conservation, museum curation and many other areas. Our Zoology Diploma course is relevant for this type of work.
