Learn how animals relate and interact with their physical and biological environments.
Through this minor, you’ll investigate animal morphology, development and genetics, behaviour, ecology, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology.
We'll expand your knowledge of climate change biology, wildlife and conservation biology, entomology, environmental physiology, marine biology, fisheries biology and aquaculture, terrestrial ecology, molecular ecology and mathematical applications in biology.
Zoology opens up a number of career options, ranging from field-based conservation work to employment in education institutions.
