Postgraduate Certificate in Science (PGCertSci) - Zoology

The University of Otago

Animals are fascinating and there is so much to learn about them – the Zoology courses at Otago will blow your mind.Zoology is the study of animals, their behaviour, their physiology and evolution, as well as their interactions with each other and with their environment. Zoologists also study how animals evolved and the impact of environmental change on their survival. They search for ways to manage wildlife populations and to conserve rare and endangered species, such as takahe, frogs and tuatara. They study costs and benefits of conservation and ways to enhance species survival.
