Course description

Our four-year course is designed to give you the best start for a career in industrial or academic research. The course is about animals, their evolution and their interactions with each other, the environment and biodiversity conservation. It spans microbes, invertebrates, birds, fish, mammals and humans.

You’ll learn how they evolved, how their physiology works, how they behave and how they respond to global change. You’ll discover how their biodiversity is maintained and lost, and use this knowledge to help address important issues such as tropical wildlife conservation, disease outbreaks and maintaining functioning ecosystems.

The first three years of your course will have the same structure as the BSc, with your fourth year devoted to a major research project in the field or in the lab, focused on everything from genetics to biodiversity and climate change, you’ll work alongside our world-leading zoologist academics.

You’ll cover three main themes at Sheffield:

their comparative physiology – the functional characteristics of animals
their evolutionary biology – how animals adapt to their environment
their behaviour, ecology and conservation – how animals interact with their environment and each other to support biodiversity on the planet.

Alongside your specialist zoology modules, you’ll have the freedom to study topics across the breadth of biology to complement your knowledge. Topics range from ecology and molecular genetics that underpins conservation research, to pharmacology, neuroscience and even human physiology. This flexibility allows you to study zoology in greater depth, broaden your interests or even switch to another biosciences degree programme.

No matter what modules you choose to study, you’ll develop practical laboratory and transferable skills that make our graduates attractive to employers, including project management, problem solving, communication skills and data analysis.

We’ll give you plenty of opportunities to apply your new skills and knowledge too. You’ll be in the lab completing in-depth practicals, out in the Peak District conducting your own research projects, visiting zoos, aquariums and other scientific spots around the country and embarking on a field course in the UK or abroad.

Whether you choose to focus solely on zoology, or study a range of topics across the biosciences, your personal tutor will support you to tailor your degree to your interests and career goals.

If you want to study this course but don’t meet the entry requirements our Biosciences (with Foundation Year) could be for you. After successfully completing the one year programme, you’ll progress onto the first year of one of our bioscience degrees.

Modules

A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.

In your first year, you’ll spend your first week on a field course in Sheffield, collecting and analysing data on animals throughout the city’s green spaces and out to the edge of the Peak District. Throughout the year, you’ll study topics from physiology, genetics and speciation to behaviour, food-webs, biodiversity, conservation and climate change. You’ll develop practical skills in the lab, including microscopy and genetics, complemented by regular field trips to zoos, aquariums and nature reserves. You’ll also have lectures and take part in small group tutorials where you’ll enhance your writing, data analysis and presentation skills as you learn about the latest research findings from our world-leading academics.

Core modules:

Principles of Zoology
Animal Behaviour
Principles of Evolution
Skills in Biology

Optional modules:

Molecular & Cell Biology
Principles of Ecology and Conservation
Climate Change and Sustainability
Introductory Developmental, Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology
Maths for Molecular Bioscience

Introduction to Physiology with Pharmacology

The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.

The international undergraduate and postgraduate students at this university can use different types of accommodation options and live in a safe and vibrant environment to focus entirely on their studies and get the best result, also the students can use the cafes and bars gyms, and other living facilities, on the other hand, they can have an accommodation tour and Sheffield city tour to become familiar with their living environment and make the most suitable decision, as we said, this university offers various accommodation options with different fees like £6,782.58 to £10,210.62 for a rental place in the city for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and they can choose to have a private or shared room.

The international students can work up to 20 hours in part-time jobs in the UK, however, they must refer to their visa to see whether they have study and work permits or not, we recommend you to focus only on your education to get the best results and be able to find the most suitable jobs in the UK or the global market right after graduation, on the other hand, if the international applicants need extra financial help to pay for their tuition fee, living, and study expenses, they can find part-time jobs under some conditions, also if the students find related jobs to their educational fields (with the help of the university), they will obtain more real experience and skills aside from the theoretical knowledge that they acquire during their study period.
