    In this year, you will find more advanced courses available. In addition to modules in Parasitology and Immunology, and Communicating Biology, you can choose from a range including the Behavioural Ecology Field Course, Photography, Neurobiology, Behaviour and Ecology, Experimental Design, Genetics, Evolution, Endocrinology and Embryology.

    Year three

    The third year includes a practical research project, which will allow you to carry out your own zoological investigation.
