Are you concerned about the natural world and the threats it faces?<br/><br/>At Sussex, you’ll experience Zoology first-hand. We’re based in the South Downs National Park and moments from the UNESCO Living Coast Biosphere Reserve. You’ll be in the perfect place for studying a wide range of native wildlife. And you’ll have the opportunity to encounter other animals and natural environments on field trips. Our previous visits have included animals as diverse as puffins on Lundy and elephants in Zambia. Inside the classroom, you’ll explore a range of disciplines including biology, physiology and environmental science.<br/><br/>You’ll learn from experts with research interests ranging from bumblebees to sharks. Our researchers are active in conservation and rewilding projects at local, national and international levels. This includes influencing policies on the pesticides killing our wildlife, and rescuing the brown-headed spider monkey from extinction.<br/><br/>This course prepares you for a career where you can make a difference in protecting and restoring biodiversity. When you graduate, you could work in a range of sectors including:<br/><br/><br/>- conservation<br/><br/><br/>- environmental management<br/><br/><br/>- rewilding<br/><br/><br/>- environmental organisations.<br/><br/><br/>You’ll also have data analysis and communication skills. This prepares you for a wide range of roles, from media and journalism, to public engagement and marketing.<br/><br/>And in addition, in your integrated Masters year, you gain a strong theoretical and practical foundation for a career in – or related to – research. You’ll spend a semester working on an individual research project in one of our Zoology research teams. In this year, you’ll develop advanced skills in technical, analytical and scientific communication skills.<br/><br/>**MSci or BSc?**<br/><br/>We also offer this course as a three-year BSc.
