About program
The MSci Zoology with Professional studies enables students to develop knowledge and understanding of:
Concepts and theories from the molecular and cellular levels through to the whole-organism.
The principles and study of animals from the molecular to the community level.
The importance of zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases e.g. Covid-19.
Molecular techniques applied to de-extinction and conservation e.g. cloning.
The use of forensics and toxicology in the investigation of wildlife crime.
Practical laboratory skills to investigate and manipulate biological material including relevant physical, chemical and biological measurements and their application in a research project.
Collation, quantitative analysis and interpretation of experimental data, including problem-solving.
Communication and application of knowledge on the biological sciences.
The use of computers for data management and presentation.
The use of remote sensing technologies for the assessment of animal behaviour.
Intellectual, personal and team skills for employment and further study.
How the degree outcomes can be applied to the workplace and career planning.
How to carry out Masters level research.
Programmes with Professional studies undertake a 46 week work placement between stage 2 and 3. The skills and experience obtained are further enhances following the completion of the stage 3 project carried out either in internationally recognised laboratories or at internationally recognised field sites. The experience obtained equips the student with a readily transferable skill set for entry into either employment or future postgraduate study, including research.

Program structure
The MSci in Zoology with Professional Studies at Queen’s aims to provide students with a broad coverage of the biology of animals and how they interact with other living organisms.
An integral part of the programme is understanding the impact of climate change, emerging infectious zoonotic diseases and human encroachment into wildlife areas on biodiversity. Students will explore cutting edge technologies to tackle disease control, de-extinction, conservation and the use of remote sensing technologies to monitor animal behaviour.
Students on this pathway will complete a set of compulsory core modules at Stage 1, in common with other bioscience pathways. At Stages 2 and 3 students will select from a range of optional modules. All students undertake a compulsory Research Project module at Stage 3 (either lab or field-based) before spending year four in a research intensive setting (laboratory or field). Students will also complete a 46-week work placement to develop the core transferable skills and employment related experiences valued by future employers.
