Invertebrate Zoology

Course
A largely marine-based course that introduces the spectacular diversity amongst invertebrates. An appreciation of the major phyla is gained through learning about their diversity, anatomy, feeding, ecology and reproduction. Practical work focuses on identifying invertebrates, their morphology, and how they function.
Course code

Qualifications are made up of courses. Some universities call these papers. Each course is numbered using 6 digits.

199211
Level

The fourth number of the course code shows the level of the course. For example, in course 219206, the fourth number is a 2, so it is a 200-level course (usually studied in the second year of full-time study).

200-level
Credits

Each course is worth a number of credits. You combine courses (credits) to meet the total number of credits needed for your qualification.

  • 1 Recognise, identify and give the primary classification of representatives of major invertebrate groups.
  • 2 Describe and visually record their basic external and internal structure.
  • 3 Identify the functions of external and internal structures, and relate form to function.
  • 4 Describe how invertebrates move, feed, excrete, perceive their environment, and reproduce, and discuss their ecological roles and their importance to humans and wildlife.
  • 5 Explain the general principles that provide context for understanding the biology of invertebrates.
