Zoology is the study of animals and their ecology, behaviour, structure, physiology, development, origin, and distributions. Study individual animals down to the molecular level, as well as their populations and communities and the ways they interact with plants and the physical environment.
Join our field courses to the Victorian Mallee or Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef. You will have access to La Trobe's Wildlife Sanctuary - 30ha of bushland on the Melbourne campus, in which you will gain first-hand experience in ecological techniques.
Our students have found work in conservation, park management, natural resource management and research in non-government organisations such as Murrumbidgee Irrigation and the Trust for Nature, government agencies and environmental consultancy companies.
We also offer single subject study. Visit our short courses page to find out more.
