About Zoology Mbiolsci in University of Sheffield
Our MBiolSci Zoology course is designed for students who want to pursue a career in industrial or academic research. The majority of your fourth year will be devoted to a major research project working in the lab or the field with our world-leading staff.
This course spans microbes, invertebrates, birds, fish, humans and other mammals: how they evolved, how they behave, and how they respond to global change.
You'll cover three main themes at Sheffield: animal behaviour, conservation and animal ecology - how animals interact with their environment and each other, evolutionary biology - how animals adapt to their environment, and comparative physiology - the functional characteristics of animals.
Our degrees all start with core subject and skills modules that provide the foundation for your studies. As you progress through your degree, you'll have a chance to explore your core subjects in greater depth, choose optional modules across the biosciences to help broaden your knowledge and skills and participate in a research activity. Moving to a different degree course is possible, especially in the first year, and depending on your qualifications.
You'll choose from optional modules that span ecology and conservation biology and plant sciences. You can mix and match these modules, covering physiology, genetics and speciation to behaviour, food-webs, biodiversity and conservation, underpinned by the latest research discoveries from our experts.
