理学研究生文凭-动物学

理学研究生文凭（PGDipSci）是一个为期一年的课程，以本科科学学位为基础。该文凭包括论文和研究主题，可以全日制或兼读制。它仅通过论文提供进入理学硕士（MSc）学位的机会。动物学是对动物生物学的研究。但是，这种简单的定义掩盖了主题的复杂性。可以研究动物生物学的许多层次：分子，生理，结构，进化，行为和生态。我们的课程强调新西兰独特动物的多样性和保护。
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.<br>You get to work in all sorts of spectacular environments and have the opportunity to explore all sorts of places where there is animal life, like mountains, grasslands, oceans, fiords and wetlands. There are lots of travel opportunities with Zoology check out our graduate profiles. Zoology is a global science that will take you to all corners of the world. New Zealand has its own unique animal life and it's a great place to study zoology and other environmental sciences. It's also one of the most interdisciplinary subjects. Staff in Zoology include ecologists, physiologists, developmental biologists, geneticists, evolutionary biologists, mathematicians, and even film makers. In our modern world, it is more important than ever that we restore and manage our environment. Zoologists can help to do that.
