Why Study Zoology?
Nestled between the mountains and the sea, Bangor University is the obvious choice for anyone wanting to study Zoology as our location presents the best natural laboratory in the UK. Our students don’t have to travel to visit the most important and varied field sites during their course – they’re on our doorstep. We’re minutes away from both the foothills of the Snowdonia mountain range and the shores of the Anglesey coastline.
Throughout your degree you will benefit from being close to such an exceptional range of terrestrial, marine and freshwater habitats.
Bangor University is also exceptional in that it we have our very own natural history museum, botanical garden, freshwater and marine aquaria, venomous snake collection, Europe’s largest underground soil laboratory, aviaries, an ocean-going research vessel, and an active research farm – all of which are constantly used for teaching and research.
