Course Overview

The BSc (Hons) Zoology with Professional Studies at Queen's University Belfast is a undergraduate programme designed for students passionate about understanding living systems. Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 4-year full-time structure. Zoology is the study of animals, from the simplest invertebrates to the largest land or marine mammals. Simple animals often provide models for the study of higher, more complex species and help drive basic research that transcends the subject boundaries. Animals interact with each other and with their environment, forming complex relationships such that zoologists need a broad understanding of the living world, life processes and the animal kingdom. International tuition fees are £25,300 per year, home/UK fees are £4,750 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 80% student satisfaction rating, a 100% continuation rate, and 90% of graduates in employment or further study.
