Animal and plant science is a discipline mainly based on practice. In New Zealand, many universities provide specialized zoology and botany majors. Let’s take a look with the editor~
Massey University
Zoology
Animal Science
Massey University’s agricultural science, zoology and veterinary medicine are leading in the world. This major not only has rich historical heritage, but the project has also been recognized internationally and has the most advanced teaching laboratories and cutting-edge scientific equipment. It includes different courses such as animal genetics and breeding, animal nutrition and growth, and animal welfare.
Massey University has many internationally recognized animal-based research centers, including: the Center for Allerre Genetics, the Center for Animal Welfare Science and Bioethics, the Center for Feline Nutrition, the Center for Horse Parent-Child Genetic Service, the Center for Horse Research, the Center for International Sheep Research, the Center for Single Gas Research and the Center for Working Dogs.
University of Auckland
Biological Science
Biological Science
Biological Science
Biology is the core of New Zealand's economy and natural environment. The field of biological science has developed at an astonishing rate, resulting in a new generation of health care and medical therapies. The agricultural biotechnology industry has also begun to develop sustainable products centered on consumers, as well as new strategies to protect fragile ecosystems.
The University of Auckland Biological Sciences major grasps the transformational potential of modern biological science in this field, provides students with an interdisciplinary comprehensive knowledge base, and provides training on relevant skillsets for employment in this field.

Botany
Botany
Basic plants are raw materials for food, fiber and medicine, so knowledge about plants is crucial to human survival. Plants are also crucial to the health of the planet, which affects the planet’s climate, and the way most life on Earth survives directly depends on the oxygen, food, or habitat provided by the plants. Among the plants are also born, including some of the strangest and most beautiful creatures on the earth.
Modern botany includes research on plant biochemistry, ecology, genetics and physiology, plant evolution, the role of plants in ecosystems and plant biotechnology. This specialty covers topics ranging from breeding crops using the most modern molecular techniques to simulate the impact of climate change on plants.
University of Canterbury
Forestry Science
Forestry Science
Bachelor's Science (BForSc) is a professional degree provided by Te Kura Ngahere. It is an interdisciplinary degree designed to prepare graduates for managing forest resources after their days by combining core science courses with management, business and technology.
Small class teaching and field trips provide students with an engaging learning experience. Here you will strike a balance between theoretical work and practical operation, including field trips to various woodlands in New Zealand. At the same time, this major has exchange plans with top forestry schools in Canada and the United States to help students better study related majors.
Victoria University in Wellington
Natural Science
Science
The main learning directions provided by Victoria University in Wellington are cell biology, plant biology, animal biology and statistics. Specializes in fields such as flora and fauna, genetics or biochemistry. The research subjects include population and community ecology, genes and genomes, and marine ecology.
Auckland Polytechnic University
Environmental Science
Environmental Science
By learning the environmental science of Auckland Polytechnic University, you can explore species interactions and their living environment. You can also explore ecological principles of freshwater and land ecosystems, animal behavior and ecology, and plant ecology.
Lincoln University
Agricultural Science
Agricultural Science
Lincoln University provides students with advanced agricultural knowledge, exercise critical thinking through case studies, and provide different types of practical opportunities. Students can work at various farms and agricultural research centers in the rest of the semester.
University of Waikato
Ecology and Biodiversity
Ecology and Biodiversity
University of Waikato enjoys a particularly high reputation in research projects on lakes and rivers ecology and restoration due to its proximity to the Rotorua Lake District, Waikato River, and peat lakes and wetlands in the Waikato area, as well as peat lakes and wetlands in the Waikato area. Other research areas include estuary and coastal marine biology, urban ecology, Antarctic terrestrial ecology, and agricultural sustainability and productivity. Students will gain knowledge of ecology and biological theory, as well as practical skills in field identification, investigation and experimentation of plants, animals and microorganisms in a wide range of ecosystems.
