About Zoology

Zoology is a science programme that equips students with a deep understanding of animal life, covering areas such as animal physiology, genetics, ecology, parasitology, entomology, and wildlife conservation. Students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical laboratory skills that prepare them for diverse roles in Nigeria's biological and environmental sectors. Graduates can pursue careers as wildlife officers, environmental consultants, public health researchers, or science educators at secondary and tertiary levels. Those venturing into parasitology and disease research may collaborate with health agencies addressing endemic conditions like malaria and trypanosomiasis. The Zoological Society of Nigeria provides a professional platform for practising zoologists, while postgraduate studies open further opportunities in academia, research institutions, and conservation organisations across the country.
