Remember that many employers accept applications from graduates with any degree subject, so don't restrict your thinking to the jobs listed here.

Work experience
Some university courses include work placements either in the UK or abroad as part of a four-year sandwich degree. However, zoology graduates may also acquire experience, skills and contacts through carrying out voluntary work. Opportunities can often be found in animal welfare groups, zoos and conservation projects. The skills gained from work experience and extracurricular activities can greatly enhance your employability.

It is important to gain experience in any area you are seeking a career in, and the more relevant the better. You can do this through university involvement, paid opportunities or volunteer work. These experiences can often be combined with your current study by working in the evenings or on weekends or by pursuing opportunities during the summer holidays.

Search for placements and find out more about work experience and internships.

Skills for your CV
Studying zoology provides you with specialist knowledge in areas such as ethology (the science of animal behaviour), animal biology (particularly physiology, molecular biology and genetics), conservation and ecology.

In addition to this subject-specific knowledge, you will develop practical experience of modern laboratory and field research techniques, giving you a range of technical skills.

You also gain a strong set of transferable skills, which include:

analytical skills - to understand, interpret and manipulate complex scientific data and statistics;
data-handling skills - to record, collate and analyse data using appropriate techniques and equipment;
written communication skills - to produce reports and write up research projects;
presentation and oral communication skills - to present research findings and make presentations in a clear, succinct way;
project management skills - organising and undertaking research projects, experiments, etc (including budgeting, contingency planning and time management);
a good understanding of information technology;
the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Further study
Many zoology graduates choose to undertake postgraduate study at Masters or PhD level in order to specialise in a particular area of interest within their discipline, for example conservation biology, ecology and environmental sustainability, and ecology and management of the natural environment.

Some zoology graduates choose to pursue further studies in a different area entirely, such as in marketing, finance, business, law, museums or journalism. Many postgraduate courses are open to graduates with a degree in any subject.

You may also choose to study for a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) in Scotland) in preparation for a career teaching biology or general science.

For more information on further study and to find a course that interests you, see Masters degrees and search postgraduate courses. #lekzy

This is very impolite of you. you don't use people's destiny to do sarcasm. if you'll have nothing to say to contribute to another's value, why should you say what will steal away the value they already have? it's better to keep to yourself if you understand human relation. it's so wrong please. correct that please.
