Zoo Biology (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Zoo biology is a specialist branch of the life sciences concerned with the biology, behaviour, ecology, and welfare of animals kept in zoological collections, and with the broader role that zoos play in conservation, research, and public education. It combines foundational training in biology with the specific knowledge and skills needed to work effectively in zoo settings, including animal husbandry, enrichment design, behavioural assessment, captive breeding, and the reintroduction programmes that connect zoos to wild population conservation. At Nottingham Trent University, this programme includes a foundation year that provides an introductory year of scientific preparation before the main degree begins, making it accessible to students who would benefit from additional grounding in biology and related sciences. In the main degree years, you will study animal anatomy and physiology,
