Knowledge of physical and biological characteristics of animals helps in designing tools for their management and conservation. The current undergraduate programme in the Department offers such basic courses as Ecology, Genetics, Entomology, Evolution, Behaviour, Physiology, Vertebrate Biology, Parasitology, Biometry and Aquatic Biology, in addition to more applied career-oriented courses like Public Health, Fishery Biology, Conservation Biology, Wildlife Management, Applied Entomology, Innovation and Business Plan for Biologists and Advanced Genetics. The latter focuses largely on modern concepts of molecular biology and genetic engineering.

The programme of the Department of Animal Biology and Conservation Science comprises 5 major (thematic) areas of study and a general cross-cutting area. The thematic areas are: Genetics, Animal Physiology and radiation Biology, Aquatic Sciences, Conservation Sciences, Biology and Management of Animal Pests and Vectors of Medical importance. The general area consists of courses that cut across all the five thematic areas. The Department’s thematic areas offer several options for our students to make informed choices of their future careers in the life sciences. Furthermore, the multi-disciplinary nature of the undergraduate programme enables the graduate in Animal Biology and Conservation Science to more readily identify several areas of postgraduate programmes to pursue their careers. The student of Animal Biology and Conservation Science will be so adequately equipped with knowledge directed towards the complex interrelationships among humans, other animals, plants, and the physical environment and how to reduce the negative anthropogenic impact. The structure of the programmes also makes them versatile to even move to other areas of endeavour.

Students offering BSc in Animal Biology and Conservation Science as Single Subject Major are expected to take all prescribed core courses (69 credits) from Levels 100 – 400 and make up their credit units from elective courses as per the instructions given. Students offering BSc. in Animal Biology and Conservation Science as a Combined Major are expected to take the prescribed core courses (46 credits) from Levels 100 – 400 and make up their credit units from elective courses as per the instructions given.
