Zoology is the study of animals, their behaviour, physiology and evolution, as well as their interactions with each other and their environment. Zoologists study how animals evolved and what is the impact of environmental change on their survival. They also study costs and benefits of conservation and ways to enhance species survival. Whether you are a student, researcher or just interested in animals generally. 

Zoology Department is the place that brings together researchers from a great diversity of disciplines, ranging from cell biology to field ecology. It is concerned with facts that how systems interact across different levels of organization to generate the complexity of form, function and behaviour that are observed in the living world. Evolution is a theme that underpins and unites much of our work, as does an appreciation of the interaction between living organisms and their environments.
