Zoology is a branch of biology that deals with the study of animals, animal-like organisms and their interactions with people and the environment. Zoology as a discipline is taught in the Department of Zoology, Entomology, Fisheries Sciences (ZEFS) which was created by the Makerere University Council on 6 October 2015. Zoology at Makerere University was previously taught in the Department of Biological Sciences and before that, in the Department of Zoology. To reflect changing trends in knowledge and its application for socio-economic development, a major revision was undertaken of the training approach and focus. Subsequently a revitalized Department of Zoology, Entomology, Fisheries Sciences was created that is more in tune with the University’s mission of producing skilled manpower for socio-economic development at the local, regional and international.
The Department (formerly Department of Botany) was officially opened in 1957
