Zoology is the scientific study of animals, their behavior, physiology, genetics, evolution, and interactions with the environment. As a course, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the animal kingdom, from microscopic organisms to large mammals, exploring their anatomy, classification, ecology, and evolutionary history. The course covers various branches, including animal physiology, genetics, ecology, ethology (animal behavior), and taxonomy, offering students a deep insight into biological diversity.  

Students learn through a combination of theoretical lectures, laboratory experiments, and fieldwork, gaining hands-on experience in dissecting specimens, analyzing DNA, and studying animal populations in their natural habitats. Zoology also integrates principles of biotechnology, conservation, and environmental science, making it relevant to addressing global challenges such as wildlife conservation, habitat destruction, and climate change.  

Graduates of zoology can pursue careers in research, conservation, veterinary sciences, environmental management, and education. The course lays a strong foundation for further studies in specialized fields such as marine biology, entomology, herpetology, and paleontology. Through a multidisciplinary approach, zoology fosters critical thinking, analytical skills, and a deeper appreciation for the complexity and importance of animal life in ecosystems.
