Behavioural Biology at University of Aberdeen is an interdisciplinary degree and field of science that examines the bidirectional interactions between behaviour and biology. An organismÕs genetic, physiological and immunological processes drive behaviour, just as an individual's behaviour will impact its physiological and immunological state.

The Behavioural Biology degree differs from our Animal Behaviour degree as the focus is predominantly on TinbergenÕs questions on the mechanisms and functional significance of behaviour, and less on the evolutionary and development principles.
