Zoology with Environmental Management (with Placement)

Zoologists are scientists who study the animal kingdom, from the largest mammals to the smallest
insects. Understanding the evolution, behaviour and their communities provides an insight into both
human and animal life and how they can be sustained in the face of global challenges, from climate
change to food security.
Here at Harper Adams, you’ll study whole organisms not just species at the molecular level. You’ll learn to
study animals’ physiology, behaviour, and how they interact with other species and their environments, in
order to preserve important habitats and manage wildlife in light of climate change.
Zoologists and environmental managers protect endangered species and wildlife from the dangers of
habitat loss, disease, invasive species, and climate change, and to safeguard and learn more about human
life in the process.
You’ll study a wide range of species, from farm livestock to companion animals and exotics, to UK wildlife
such as insects, with a strong emphasis on field and laboratory work – both skills in demand by
employers.
You’ll be taught by conservationists, environmental specialists, entomologists, animal scientists,
veterinarians and many more highly experienced staff.
