- By studying animal behavior, students will learn how they can manage and protect species. The development, physiology, and evolution of species will form the basis of this course, but it’s, not all theory. It’s a practical subject and we give them plenty of opportunities to learn and practice both in the lab and the field. In their second year, they will take a series of half-day trips to learn about and practice advanced behavioral data collection, the costs of which are included in your course fees.
- On these optional field trips, you might experience rutting red deer on the island of Rum; marine biology in Scotland; world-class zoos in the Netherlands; wildlife and ecology in Africa; and diving and marine biology in the Red Sea. Students will need to pay for these trips.
- This staff are involved in the field and captive studies internationally and in the UK and have research links with organizations studying British wildlife and at Britain's most respected zoos.
- The degree is the longest-established animal behavior course in the UK, and it’s recognized by the Society of Biology. Learn how and why animals behave the way they do, and how this can impact the management and conservation of wild and domesticated creatures. Students will develops the skills they will need to investigate animals and contribute to important discoveries in the future.
