Zoologists are scientists who study the animal kingdom, from the largest mammals to the smallest<br/>insects. Understanding the evolution, behaviour and their communities provides an insight into both<br/>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 learn to<br/>study animals’ physiology, behaviour, and how they interact with other species and their environments, in<br/>order to preserve important habitats and manage wildlife in light of climate change.<br/>Zoologists and environmental managers protect endangered species and wildlife from the dangers of<br/>habitat loss, disease, invasive species, and climate change, and to safeguard and learn more about human<br/>life in the process.<br/>You’ll study a wide range of species, from farm livestock to companion animals and exotics, to UK wildlife<br/>such as insects, with a strong emphasis on field and laboratory work – both skills in demand by<br/>employers.<br/>You’ll be taught by conservationists, environmental specialists, entomologists, animal scientists,<br/>veterinarians and many more highly experienced staff.
