Learn about conservation, ecology, behaviour, evolution, environmental management, physiology, cell biology and genetics from some of the best experts in the country – but not just in the classroom. You’ll complement your theoretical knowledge with practical experience in the field, both in the UK and overseas.

The skills you’ll develop, such as genomic technologies, field survey techniques, GIS and science communication, are valued by employers. Plus you get the chance to gain PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification.¹

Why study at Hull?

  • Career-ready qualifications: Gain qualifications requested by bioscience employers, such as genomic technologies, field survey techniques, GIS and even PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification.¹

  • Award-winning tuition: We’re a small, friendly, supportive group with three Higher Education Bioscience Teacher of the Year winners in our department.

    Where could this take me?

    A wide range of careers are available to you with a zoology degree. Our graduates have gone on to become professional biologists, laboratory officers, environmental consultants and microbiologists working for employers such as Reckitt, the Environment Agency, Natural England, wildlife trusts and conservation agencies.
