Yesterday Zoology was a "Life Science subject"
Today Zoology is "Life for all Science subjects"
Tomorrow Zoology will be "Life saving subject"
Zoology, the study of animals is a complex discipline that draws upon a diverse body of scientific
observation and theory. On this course, one can explore theoretical and practical aspects of animal biology
and biodiversity including animal behaviour, development, ecology, evolution and animal physiology. The course gives a
comprehensive, up-to-date understanding of the approaches and practical experience of the techniques that zoologists use
to tackle some of the most important questions in neurobiology, behavior, ecology and evolution. The lab work and class room
lectures will be supported by fieldwork.
Vision of the Department
Envisage to instill science and value education, concern for nature and ethical values among students through quality educational practices.
Mission of the Department
- The holistic development of the student with knowledge, insight and expertise to make them contribute effectively to the society as educators, scientists, administrators and entrepreneurs.
