This allows us to offer a wide range of courses and seminars in various disciplines of zoology. As zoology is central to our understanding of the animal world, it seeks to discover the fundamental principles that underpin animal life focusing on their diversity, function and evolution and thus providing the scientific basis for our knowledge. We aim to produce well-rounded and competent young scientists who are committed to make positive contributions to the country and the society in the field of Zoological science with learning, courage and integrity

Vision

Our vision is fully aligned to the university-wide goal to reach excellence in teaching, research and community engagement.
