On our Animal Behaviour degree, you can delve in and discover it all – developing an understanding of the vast range and huge importance of animal behaviour. With us, you'll consider the drivers of animal behaviour, looking at the interaction of genetics, evolutionary history and present-day environments. You'll also investigate how and why behaviour changes over an animal's lifetime, from genetic and hormonal factors to the physiological and environmental mechanisms. Through a blend of laboratory and field work, we'll show you how to record behavioural data and use professional-grade software for its analysis – vital tools in improving the welfare and management of domestic, wild and zoo populations. Our Animal Behaviour degree also provides the option of spending an extra year expanding your horizons, either studying with one of our partner universities overseas, or working on a placement with a business or non-governmental organisation. This course is also available with a Foundation Year.<br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – 9th November 2020 is the latest possible arrival date.
