About this course
The course aims to enable understudies to: Have a clear understanding of the basic theory of population genetics, the principles of evolution by natural selection and the significance of genetic drift.
Comprehend the technology involved in the use of genetic markers, and be able to evaluate their utility in population and ecological genetics, taxonomy, disease and evolution.
Be able to integrate knowledge acquired from different sources, and to apply a problem solving approach when presented with a hypothetical scenario.
Be able to explain how contemporary bioinformatic tools can be used to delimit species and to investigate intraspecific variation from an evolutionary perspective.
Zoologists have gained employment in wildlife management, environmental consultancy, and local and national media, whilst some have undertaken a range of postgraduate programmes.
