The Department of Zoology has its origins in Natural History lectures at the Government School of Mines and Science Applied to the Arts (later the Royal School of Mines), established in 1851. The Department was known as Zoology and Applied Entomology from 1934. The Division of Life Sciences was fomed from the Departments of Botany, Zoology and Biochemistry in 1974. In 1981 the Department of Zoology and Applied Entomology was merged with the Department of Botany and Plant Technology to form the Department of Pure and Applied Biology, with the transfer of Microbiology from the Department of Biochemistry. The Department continued to form part of the Division of Life Sciences along with the Department of Biochemistry.
