Overview

Zoology BSc (No March intake) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Zoology is assessed through practical reports as well as written papers, and the lab component is what makes the timetable full.
