BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour

Study the ever-interesting field of animal behaviour and develop vital highly desirable employer skills. Our Animal Behaviour course is firmly rooted in the biological sciences and adopts a rigorous scientific approach to the study of the behaviour of animals. While developing your fundamental skills and knowledge, you will also be using them in cutting-edge applied contexts such as conservation and welfare sciences.

As well as exploring the behaviour of animals, you will embrace a wide taxonomic range of species and have a good focus on amphibians and invertebrates. These groups have a very fascinating behaviour in their own right: for example, cockroaches have personalities, and frogs can experience stress. They are also a crucial part of temperate and tropical ecosystems nonetheless – understanding their behaviour is vital for wider habitat conservation.

Whilst the emphasis of the course is on wild animals, you will also study behaviour in more managed settings: e.g. determining husbandry and conservation breeding for endangered animals in zoos, best practice pet welfare and farm animal management. Our staff have real enthusiasm for their subject and bring great expertise from their research fields.
