Find out more about our placement opportunities

It was really exciting to be involved in a project that was helping to progress our national security. And [the job offer] was a real acknowledgement that the contributions I made to this area of science during my placement have been valued.

Fieldwork opportunities

 

Reading's Zoology field school provided a "bucket-list" opportunity for aspiring palaeontologist, Issy.

She travelled to Dinosaur Provincial Park in Canada, aka “The Badlands”, where she gained hands-on experience in identification, excavation and preservation of dinosaur and reptile bones and fossils.

Study abroad

Depending on your course, you could spend two weeks, a semester, or a full academic year abroad.

This can be part of a standard three-year degree, an extended four-year degree, or a shorter length of time such as a summer school.

We’ll help you decide where to go and for how long, guide you through the application process, and support you when you’re abroad.

I chose Reading for a number of reasons. The Cole Museum as a teaching resource was a selling point, as was the campus itself. In the end it came down to where I would rather be studying and the green nature of campus appealed much more to me than an inner city university.

How you'll study

Ecology and evolutionary biology are very diverse fields, and our teaching structure is equally diverse. Learn through lectures, small group tutorials, practical work and field trips.

Life in the Department

Join our friendly, supportive community who are as passionate about the biological sciences as you are.

Our research

We investigate the past, present and future of the living world, and aim to change the way people think about, and study, ecology and evolution.
