Study Herpatology

[ladyvalient]

Could someone please tell me the entrance qualifications for studying Herpatology at university and
are there any home study courses which would access me to university in Year 2/3

I'm a little confused because, according to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, there's no such word as 'herpatology'. That leaves me wondering whether you want to study 'hepatology' (the study of the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree and pancreas) or 'herpetology' (the study of reptiles).

Either way, there's no specific university course dealing with your required area of study. (For hepatology, you need to study general medicine and then specialise in hepatology at a later stage. For herpetology, you need to study zoology, or a related subject.

If you enter 'Zoology' as your search term on this page, you'll see a full list of related courses available in the UK. You can then click on the individual courses to view their entry requirements:
