Zoology is at the core of our understanding of the natural world. At Swansea you will enjoy unique opportunities to dedicate yourself to the scientific study of animals, from their physiology and anatomy, ecology and behaviour, to their evolution and conservation, acquiring the skills to play a major role in many sectors, from terrestrial and marine biology and conservation to agriculture, medicine, public health and veterinary science.

You will have an unrivalled opportunity to study animals in their natural environments, from the rich coastal, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats on our doorstep in the Gower Peninsula, to further afield environments visited during UK-based and international residential field courses. Our excellent teaching facilities include: new laboratory facilities; the Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research; a zoology museum; a custom-designed 18-metre research vessel; and a unique visualisation suite to explore in unrivalled detail complex animal movement and behaviour data.
