difference between animal behavior and zoology

Aberdeen uni has both programmes. What careers could i get with a degree in one of theese. would i get similar careers from a degree in zoology or a degree in animal behavior.
With both Zoology and Animal Behavioural Science, you can get jobs such as:
- Academic researcher
- Animal nutritionist
- Zookeeper

Jobs directly related to just Animal Behavioural Science include:
-Animal physiotherapist
-Animal technician
-Nature conservation officer

Jobs directly related to just Zoology include:
-Ecologist
-Environmental consultant
-Field trials officer
-Marine scientist
-Nature conservation officer
-Research scientist (life sciences)
-Science writer
-Zoologist
I would definitely recommend looking at the modules they offer in depth, since zoology often includes modules in animal behaviour. Often for a CV it does not really matter what the title of the degree is, since you can explain what particular modules/what you specialised in!
