Combine Biology and Psychology to measure and understand the behaviour of wild animals, the behaviour and welfare of companion, domestic, and captive exotic animals, and explore links between behaviour and applications such as conservation.
Animal Behaviour is an interdisciplinary degree and field of science that examines why animals do the things they do, and what consequences their actions have for their survival and impacts on the wider ecosystem. Behaviour is especially fascinating as it is highly flexible, it gives us some of the most mesmerising phenomena in the natural world, and feedback from behavioural decisions in turn drives evolutionary processes. Our Animal Behaviour degree differs from our Zoology degree in that it includes courses from Psychology in the first two years.
