About Department of Zoology

The Department of Zoology is one of the five scientific departments (zoology, botany, chemistry, nature, sports) that opened the Faculty of Science at the Libyan University in Tripoli in 1957, and the faculty of the department included in its early years professors from some Arab countries (Egypt, Lebanon), and foreign countries (America, Britain, India, Pakistan) and the language of instruction at the time was English, while the study system in the department is the system of the full academic year and the duration of study at the university is four years, in which the student of the Department of Zoology then studied The following decisions:

First Year: Zoology, Botany, General Chemistry, General Physics and General Sports.

Second Year: Zoology, Botany and Chemistry Courses.

Third and fourth years: The zoology student studies courses in specialized branches of zoology in addition to chemistry, botany or geology.

The teaching system in the department then turned to the closed semester system, and then to the open classroom system, that is, the system of consecutive study units, including a sequence based on a succession in the requirements of the courses of the subjects, which include basic courses (Core courses) and supporting courses (Supporting courses), so that the student accomplishes for his graduation (136) units of study, and in order for the department to develop and keep pace with the accelerated progress in the various fields of biological sciences, five specialized divisions were introduced, namely:  Developmental biology, entomology, environmental sciences, marine sciences, and forensic biosciences.
