Course Overview

A key strength of the Animal Behaviour degree is that it is firmly rooted in the biological sciences and adopts a rigorous scientific approach to the study of the behavior of animals. As well as exploring the behavior of charismatic animals, we embrace a wide taxonomic range of species and have a good focus on some of the groups less emphasized elsewhere, such as amphibians and invertebrates.

These groups have really interesting behavior in their own right (cockroaches have personalities for example... and frogs can experience stress...) but are also a crucial part of temperate and tropical ecosystems – understanding their behavior is vital for wider habitat conservation. Whilst the emphasis is mainly on wild animals you can study behavior in more managed environments: e.g. determining best husbandry and conservation breeding for endangered animals in zoos; best practice pet welfare; farm animal management. Our staff have a real enthusiasm for their subject and bring great expertise from their research fields.

In the 2020 NSS, 92% of students agreed that this course provided them with opportunities to bring subject information from different topics, access, and use learning resources, and provide feedback.
