Einführung
Beim BSc in Zoologie mit Fachstudium geht es um die Erforschung von Tieren, von den einfachsten Wirbellosen bis hin zu den größten Land- oder Meeressäugetieren. Einfache Tiere stellen häufig Modelle für die Untersuchung höherer, komplexerer Arten (einschließlich des Menschen) dar und tragen dazu bei, Grundlagenforschung voranzutreiben, die über die Fachgrenzen hinausgeht.
Tiere interagieren miteinander und mit ihrer Umwelt und bilden komplexe Beziehungen, sodass Zoologen ein umfassendes Verständnis der Lebenswelt, der Lebensprozesse und des Tierreichs benötigen. Wichtig ist, dass zoonotische Krankheiten eine ständig wachsende Bedrohung für die menschliche Gesundheit darstellen, z. B. Covid-19. In den Bereichen Tierbiologie und -verhalten, Tiergesundheit und Tierschutz sowie Management von Tiergemeinschaften, neu auftretenden Infektionskrankheiten, Artenschutz, Bekämpfung des Aussterbens durch Klonen und dem Einsatz von Fernerkundungstechnologien zur Unterstützung des Naturschutzes und zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels werden aufregende Fortschritte erzielt die perfekte Zeit, um Zoologie zu studieren.

Karrierechancen
Graduates are qualified to take up both scientific and non-scientific careers. These positions encompass areas of innovative research and development of new products, advisory, and consultancy work, particularly in companies or organizations concerned with animal and plant health, environmental management, pharmaceutical products, and biotechnology.
Graduates pursue careers in teaching, nature conservation, and laboratory-based posts in biomedical, industrial, pharmaceutical, academic, and government institutions as well as in universities and colleges of higher education. The remainder undertakes further training in areas such as computing, administration, and management or medicine (human or veterinary), developing their skills from a sound scientific background. Further training also helps them to find employment in a variety of non-biological careers, including public service administration, industrial management, banking, accountancy, and computing.
Employers are looking for graduates with generic skills of communication, problem-solving, data analysis, social skills, a range of interests, and a record of success. We believe that a degree in Zoology will help our students to develop these skills. For further information on careers see the Institute of Biology website. Please note that the same careers are open to both Zoology and Biology graduates.
Career Services
The School of Biological Sciences employs a dedicated careers adviser who has developed an extensive portfolio of employers, both nationally and internationally, within the science sector. Advice is also provided on CV preparation, interview techniques, and securing summer work or longer placements.
