Program Overview
The primates (apes, monkeys, tarsiers, lemurs and lorises) are facing an extinction crisis as many of them are specialised in their biology and ecology and live in parts of the world that are especially vulnerable to habitat loss and degradation. They are also the group of animals, to which we belong, so they provide a window through which we can interpret human evolutionary origins.
This BSc Zoology with Primatology degree course will give you a broad zoological training to appreciate the advanced and specialised knowledge of primates in the fullest evolutionary context. As zoologists, you will examine the full diversity of animals, their evolution, behaviour, ecology, anatomy, physiology, and development. As primatologists, you will take specialised modules that will provide you with a wealth of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills focused on this particular group of mammals.
Looking to the past and the present, this course offers a strong theoretical understanding of the evolutionary history and current adaptations of the primates. Looking from the present to the future, you will also develop your thinking and skills to understand and, and tackle some of the many conservation challenges that primates face in the wild.
During your studies with us you will have the opportunity to learn a broad range of laboratory and field skills, at home and abroad, and all the transferable skills associated with scientific training: IT skills and data analysis, writing, scientific communication etc. You will have access to a variety of Zoology modules covering vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as a suite of specialist modules on primatology and human evolution. You may also take an optional primatology field course to see and learn about primates in their natural habitat (e.g., in Uganda’s Kibale National Park).
