Course Overview

Understand the fascinating and essential human-animal bond and the science behind it. Explore the role of animals as pets, in zoos, on farms, in therapy, and in conservation.

Our Human-Animal Interaction degree is the first of its kind in the UK. Animals play a central role in our lives and we have a huge impact on their well-being, as they do on ours.

You’ll explore this relationship and learn how to manage, protect and promote our mutual bond to enhance people’s lives, animal welfare, and the environment. Our 70-species Animal Collection will provide opportunities to interact with different animals and observe this relationship first-hand.

You’ll explore the human-animal bond in terms of human psychology, and consider the complexities of our interactions with animals; which range from using animals as resources to improving our mental and physical well-being. You’ll study the fundamentals of animal health, behavior, and welfare, to understand the needs of animals.

The human-animal bond is key to success in so many industries, and so your career options are excitingly diverse.

The foundation year entry provides an alternative route into the degree-level study. It is ideal for those who need to gain subject-specific knowledge and skills in order to progress to the full BSc qualification.
