Zoology
Zoology is one of the most fundamental branches of natural science. Study of evolution and structure of animal life, humans included, assumes enormous significance, not just to understand human life better, but to understand the future and bio-diversity of the planet and the universe. The study of animals and communities provides insight into how "life" works, and, consequently, how we work. The higher mammals provide especially useful insight into the human world.
Department of Zoology at mLAC has all the resources and the expertise to provide the perfect foundation for a deeper pursuit of zoology. Our team of dedicated and committed faculty can help you make the best use of our well-equipped laboratories. We also offer in-house student projects.
