Master of Biological Science in Zoology
Program Overview
Our four-year course is designed to give you the best start for a career in industrial or academic research. The course is about animals, their evolution and their interactions with each other, the environment and biodiversity conservation. It spans microbes, invertebrates, birds, fish, mammals and humans.
You’ll learn how they evolved, how their physiology works, how they behave and how they respond to global change. You’ll discover how their biodiversity is maintained and lost, and use this knowledge to help address important issues such as tropical wildlife conservation, disease outbreaks and maintaining functioning ecosystems.
The first three years of your course will have the same structure as the BSc, with your fourth year devoted to a major research project in the field or in the lab, focused on everything from genetics to biodiversity and climate change, you’ll work alongside our world-leading zoologist academics.
You'll cover three main themes at Sheffield:
- their comparative physiology - the functional characteristics of animals
- their evolutionary biology - how animals adapt to their environment
- their behaviour, ecology and conservation - how animals interact with their environment and each other to support biodiversity on the planet.
Alongside your specialist zoology modules, you’ll have the freedom to study topics across the breadth of biology to complement your knowledge. Topics range from ecology and molecular genetics that underpins conservation research, to pharmacology, neuroscience and even human physiology. This flexibility allows you to study zoology in greater depth, broaden your interests or even switch to another biosciences degree programme
