Overview

Bachelor of Science - Zoology

This major at Western Sydney University will give students a detailed understanding of the animal kingdom's diversity. 

Students will develop a scientific understanding of how animals function and interact with their environment, from their ecology, behaviour and evolution; to the physiology and biochemistry of cells, tissues and major organ systems. 

On-campus animal facilities include reptiles, small marsupials and rodents, sheep and cattle, and over 1000ha of native, rural and aquatic habitats. 

This major will enable students to graduate with practical laboratory and fieldwork skills that will prepare them for various disciplines in this field.

Graduates of this degree can look forward to career opportunities as a zoologist in animal nutrition, reproduction technology, genetics, behaviour and health, product development and physiology, scientific officer and science communicator.
