BS Zoology – Lahore College for Women University

BS Zoology at Lahore College for Women University (LCWU) is a four-year undergraduate degree for women taught at the Jail Road campus in Lahore. It belongs to the Faculty of Science and Technology and is offered on regular and self-support seats according to the Fall 2026 admission notice.

Program Overview

Zoology is the study of animals – their anatomy, physiology, genetics, development, behaviour, classification and ecology. The program includes courses in invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, cell and molecular biology, animal physiology, entomology, parasitology, fisheries, wildlife biology, evolution and biostatistics, with regular dissection, microscopy and field work.

It suits Pre-Medical students who did not enter MBBS but want a biology-based degree, and those interested in wildlife, fisheries, pest management or biomedical research.

Per the official Fall 2026 notice, applicants need Intermediate (F.Sc. Pre-Medical or Pre-Engineering, as applicable), A-Level or an equivalent qualification with at least 50% marks. Zoology requires F.Sc. Pre-Medical with Biology. There is no university entry test for this program; merit is prepared from academic marks.
