Zoology is central to our understanding of the world.
Zoologists seek to discover the fundamental principles
that underpin animal life focusing on the diversity,
function and evolution of animals and thus providing
the scientific basis for our knowledge both of the
creatures with whom we share this planet and of
ourselves.
This Department strives to create an environment that enables teaching and research to attain high levels of excellence and in which its members can achieve their full potential.
