Master of Biology in Zoology

Program Overview

Zoology is the science of animal life, whether it be microscopic or massive, aquatic or terrestrial.  If you are fascinated by the millions of animal species with which we share the planet, this degree is for you! Zoology at Aberystwyth University benefits from our wonderful natural environment including intertidal and subtidal marine habitats, estuaries, wetlands, freshwater streams and rivers, woodlands, heathland etc., allowing access to species such as red kites, chough, bottlenose dolphins, pine martins, red squirrels, porpoises etc.  This exciting course allows you to prepare for a career in academic or commercial zoological research, through the combination of three years of undergraduate study and a further year of postgraduate research training, leading to the qualification of MBiol (Zoology).

Why study MBiol Zoology at Aberystwyth University?

  • You will benefit from fantastic modern laboratories, a microscopy suite, a historic specimen collection and aquaria.
  • Taught by Zoology experts, some you may have already seen them on TV documentaries or listened to them on your favourite science podcast.
