Department of Zoology Jahanzeb College Swat

The Department of Zoology is in the initial stages of its development, and at present, it offers a four year course in Zoology.
Zoology or Animal Biology as a subject is multidisciplinary in nature, involving study of organisms and their genetic, morphological and physiological attributes, their surrounding environment, and their role in conservation of environment. Zoology is a combination of various disciplines such as Genetics, Physiology, Ecology, Developmental Biology, Microbiology, Paleontology, Entomology, Freshwater Biology, Fisheries and Wildlife etc. This subject has significant role in human resource development, food security, environmental conservation, sustainable development and ultimately in alleviation of poverty. Zoologists seek to discover the fundamental principles that underpin animal life focusing on the diversity, function and evolution of animals and thus providing the scientific basis for our knowledge both of the creatures with who we share this planet and of ourselves.
