Zoology

A Ph.D. in Zoology is an advanced degree program that provides students with in-depth knowledge and research experience in the study of animal life. Zoology is a branch of biology that focuses on the structure, function, behavior, evolution, and ecology of animals, from the smallest invertebrates to the largest mammals.

During a Ph.D. program in Zoology, students typically undertake advanced coursework in areas such as ecology, evolution, genetics, animal behavior, physiology, and anatomy, as well as statistics and research methods. They also engage in independent research under the guidance of a faculty advisor, and typically write and defend a thesis based on their research findings.The program aims to provide students with a deep understanding of animal life and prepare them for careers in academia, research, science communication, or conservation work.
