Applied Zoology (with Placement) BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Applied Zoology (with Placement) BSc (Hons)
Zoologists are scientists who study animals, from the largest mammals to the smallest insects.
Understanding them and their communities gives an insight into both human and animal life and how they can be sustained in the face of global challenges, from climate change to food security. Here at Harper Adams, you’ll study whole organisms, not just species at the molecular level. You’ll look at animals’ physiology, behaviour, and how they interact with other species and their environments, in order to preserve important habitats and manage wildlife in light of climate change.
