通过本课程，您可以了解动物行为的广度和重要性。您将考虑遗传学，进化史和当今环境之间的相互作用如何塑造行为。您还将研究行为在生物的整个生命周期中发生变化的方式以及控制该行为的遗传，生理，激素和环境机制。您将学习如何记录行为数据并使用专业软件进行分析。应用包括使用行为分析来改善家庭，野生和动物园种群的福利和管理。研究的物种包括从include虫到犀牛，从蝗虫到狐猴的整个动物生活范围。生物科学专业的毕业生可以继续从事生物，制药和农用化学工业，医学，公共卫生和环境服务或教学或研究的各种特定学科的职业。应届毕业生已
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.
