This Course of Continuing Education in Zoology is designed for animal lovers, biology students and professionals in the biological sciences who wish to deepen their knowledge of the diversity and organization of the animal kingdom. From current evolutionary theories to research methodologies, this 200-hour program is your gateway to the fascinating world of zoology.

Now, if you think it's just another boring course full of heavy theory, you're wrong. Here you're going to encounter content ranging from zoogeography to molecular phylogenetics, making you understand why animals organize and evolve as they do.

The best part? You can do it online, at your own pace and without leaving your couch. Plus, backed by an official qualification issued by the European University Miguel de Cervantes, which includes 8 ECTS credits, meaning you're investing in university-level training.

Who is this course for?

This course is not just for die-hard biologists. It's also for you if you're curious about nature, if you want to learn more about how and why animals are so diverse and fascinating. From the basic principles of taxonomy to the secrets of evolution, this course takes you on a journey where you learn not only about animals, but about the history of life itself.

Are you someone who has always wondered why animals are the way they are? Why is an octopus so different from a dog, and how is it possible that both come from a common ancestor? Here are answers and much more.

Course Contents

What I like most about this course is how it covers the big topics in zoology, organized in a clear and simple way. It doesn't matter if you don't know what a taxon is or if it sounds like a new food delivery app. In this course they explain everything step by step, from the historical evolution of animals to how they are grouped and classified.

For example:

Neodarwinism and Zoology: Does the term "sex selection" ring a bell? You'll be surprised how animals decide who reproduces with whom.

Taxonomy and Systematics: Here you learn to organize animals according to their similarities and differences, something key if you want to understand how life on the planet works.

Zoogeography: Animals not only evolve; they also migrate, adapt and change according to the environment where they live.

Evolutionary History of the Kingdom Animalia: From the first multicellular beings to the most advanced animals of today, you will learn it all!

Why choose this course?

Here comes the million-dollar question: Why choose this course and not another? Easy, because this course is not more of the same.
