University of Western Australia

The Zoology specialization provides students with the opportunity to study animals and their habitats, including Western Australia's exciting fauna. These habitats are diverse, and range from deserts through to temporary wetlands and rainforests. Zoologists discover the solutions to the problems presented by these habitats. This specialization integrates theory with practical (both field and laboratory) studies utilizing many of the animals and ecosystems from the diverse state of Western Australia as examples. The Faculty is well equipped for teaching and is supported by the world class research of the Centre for Evolutionary Biology, the Oceans Institute, and the Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management. The Master of Biological Science, with a specialization in Zoology, will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the structure, function, diversity and evolution of animals, as well as the interaction of animals with each other and the environment.Zoologists are concerned with theoretical topics as diverse as molecular evolution, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, behavior and community ecology, and with applied aspects that range from fauna conservation and pest management to stream ecology and water quality studies.
Basic knowledge of biology and zoology.
Major studies focus on gaining of in-depth knowledge related to structure, function, diversity and evolution of animals, as well as the interaction of animals with each other and the environment.
International students must have a bachelor's degree, or equivalent, in a relevant discipline (where required), completed to a sufficiently high standard.
Up on completion of this course from University Of Western Australia, Students get accreditation by the Socitey of Biology.
Zoology graduates are employed in private sector companies (such as fisheries, aquaculture and the resources sector), in government departments (for example, Environment and Conversation, State Fisheries), in public agencies (such as museums and the Perth Zoo), and in environment and conservation research agencies (CSIRO), while others join academic institutions. This course leads to become an Biologist, Zoologist.
