Biology a requirement for Zoology?

Hi everyone,

I've been looking around different University courses and have become interested in Zoology, unfortunately I did not take Biology or Chemistry last year.
However some Universities don't have Biology or Chemistry as a definite requisite, is this a general rule, or is Biology normally a requirement?

Thank you

Hi, Biology is generally needed to study Zoology, however some universities offer the degree with a foundation year which does not require you to have a certain A Level subject, you just need to have UCAS points in any subjects (usually a lower amount too). Which universities have did you look at? as I didn't find any that don't require biology. :smile:

University of Manchester, and University of Exeter, both don't require Biology, but they do require a science A level.
