Zoology is a branch of biology that focuses on animals and animal life. M.Sc. Zoology is a two-year
postgraduate programme.
In zoology, there are several subfields. Some zoologists study very small organisms, including viruses,
fungi, and even individual cells and portions of cells. Other zoologists’ study large animals like
whales, elephants, and even entire populations of animals.
Zoologists study animals and occasionally perform tests on them, either in the wild or in a controlled
environment (such as a zoo or a laboratory). Inter-species interactions, brain systems, vertebrate
evolution, molecular biology, genetics of behaviour, and the value of biodiversity are only a few of the
topics covered in the studies. Many factors make zoology essential.
One benefit of studying MSc in Zoology from the perspective of animals and societies is that it sheds
light on how "life" functions, and consequently, how we function. The higher mammals provide especially
useful insight into the human world. Many zoologists work directly to conserve endangered species
because many people believe that maintaining biodiversity is essential to our survival. These are only a
few of the factors that make it crucial for humans to comprehend animal existence.
