The second dimension is understanding - using a range of teaching and assessment methods we aim to help you develop the ability to engage in rigorous analysis and criticism and to solve problems. The ethical and social implications of zoological knowledge add a further dimension to learning. Students and staff frequently debate the ethical aspects of the use of animals and Maori perspectives and concerns are considered in our teaching wherever appropriate. Careers in Zoology By emphasising all four dimensions of learning we aim to produce graduates who are flexible and able to take up a diversity of careers in the biological and environmental sciences and beyond. Like any qualification, a degree in Zoology does not guarantee employment.
Many students progress to higher degrees in Zoology before seeking employment.
