Program Overview

You get to work in all sorts of spectacular environments. You will have the opportunity to explore all sorts of places where there is animal life, like mountains, grasslands, oceans, fiords and wetlands.

There are lots of travel opportunities with Zoology – check out our graduate profile for proof of that! Zoology is a global science that will take you to all corners of the world.

New Zealand has its own unique animal life and it is a great place to study zoology and other environmental sciences.

Zoology is one of the most interdisciplinary subjects. Staff in Zoology include ecologists, physiologists, developmental biologists, geneticists, evolutionary biologists, mathematicians, and even film makers.

In our modern world, it is more important than ever that we restore and manage our environment. Zoologists can help to do that.
