Zoology and Animal Sciences

We aim to build on your existing skills/knowledge through a mixture of theoretical and practical skills. Theoretical elements will involve a stimulating mix of expert-led lectures and small group tuition. Essential practical skills will be developed in our dedicated facilities and laboratories, and for some courses, through field trips.

Our historic Exton Park site is situated only a short walk from Chester city centre and is home to the Department of Biological Sciences. We are a modern, well-equipped department, housing specialist, teaching and research laboratories. Students can also benefit from excellent fitness facilities, and social and catering hubs.

Members of our enthusiastic teaching team are involved in pioneering projects locally, nationally and globally, and have led the development of wildlife crime as an academic subject area. Our courses are underpinned by diverse staff research interests, which provide exciting opportunities for study leading to MPhil and PhD research degrees.
