Not sure where your Zoo Biology degree could take you? Toby Creswell, tells us what he is now up to thanks to graduating from NTUs Zoo Biology BSc:

"When I started at NTU, I didn't have much idea of what I could do afterwards. However, Zoo Biology ended up being the first step towards being part of something very special and entirely unexpected.

Photographing giraffes at Mankwe for my dissertation is what inspired me to pursue a career in Natural History television. After I graduated, I studied an MA in Wildlife Documentary Production. Several years and many productions later, I am proudly able to say that I have worked on a Sir David Attenborough series at the BBC NHU."
