Zoology with Entomology (with Placement) BSc (Hons)

This is the only zoology degree in the UK that allows you to specialise in entomology, in which Harper<br/>Adams excels. Entomologists are scientists who study insects – their classification, behaviour, life cycle,<br/>ecology, distribution, physiology and population dynamics.<br/>However, this being a broad-based degree, you will study all animals, from farm livestock, companion<br/>animals and exotics, to UK wildlife such as insects. There’s a strong emphasis on field and laboratory work<br/>– both skills in demand by employers. Understanding species and their communities gives an insight into<br/>both human and animal life and how they can be sustained in the face of global challenges, from climate<br/>change to food security.<br/>Here at Harper Adams you’ll study whole organisms, not just species at the molecular level. You’ll look at<br/>animals’ physiology, behaviour, and how they interact with other species and their environments, in order<br/>to preserve important habitats and manage wildlife in light of climate change.<br/>Zoologists and entomologists protect endangered species and wildlife from the dangers of habitat loss,<br/>disease, invasive species, and climate change, and to protect and learn more about human life in the<br/>process.<br/>You’ll be taught by entomologists, conservationists, animal scientists, environmental specialists,<br/>veterinarians and many more highly experienced staff.
