Presentación

This course focuses on animal biology, such as molecular biology, genetics, and physiology. You´ll also cover a wide range of topics, such as wildlife conservation, ecology, and animal behaviour to give you a broad understanding of zoology.
You´ll be studying a hands-on, practical course with opportunities to carry out laboratory work to develop your technical skills, which employers like to see in graduates. There are fieldwork opportunities in many interesting places in the UK and abroad; you could go on a seal watch on the east coast, study animal interaction at Twycross Zoo, and spend a week doing a project in Majorca. You´ll also conduct an independent research project in your final year, which will help to develop your analytical skills and specialise in an area of your choice.

Requisitos

Our entry requirements are usually 260 UCAS points, of which at least 220 will be from your core A2s (full A levels), including Biology or equivalent qualifications such as BTEC Diploma, International Baccalaureate, Scottish Highers etc.
We´ll accept up to 40 points towards the total from level 3 qualifications such as AS levels (where those AS levels are not taken on to A2 level), the Extended Project or Music qualifications.
We don´t accept points from Key Skills Level 3. If you have any questions about what is or isn´t accepted, please contact our Admissions team.
We also accept the Access to HE Diploma.
Your points at level 3 will be in addition to 5 GCSEs at grade C or equivalent level 2 qualifications.
The UCAS tariff points are a guide - we´ll also consider all the information that you´ve included in your application. We´ll also want to see that you´re enthusiastic and motivated to take this course and that you have the potential to benefit from coming to university.
