Our programme focuses on the full range of human-animal relationships, wild animal behaviour alongside opportunities to explore companion, domestic and captive exotic animals. Animal Behaviour is an interdisciplinary degree and field of science that examines the interactions between behaviour and biology. An organisms evolutionary history and current environmental conditions drive behaviour, and feedback from behavioural decisions in turn drives evolutionary processes. Our Animal Behaviour degree differs from our Zoology degree in that it includes courses from Psychology in the first two years.Why Study Animal Behaviour.Unique programme offering study in the fields of biology and psychology – understand behaviour from all angles: evolution, development, mechanisms and adaptive significance.Teaching from researchers in biology and psychology gives access to the cutting edge of both subject areas.Academic and transferrable skills are built in to the learning experience to maximise employability.Links with the Edinburgh Zoo provide an unrivalled opportunity to directly interact with a diverse range of animal species.You will have the opportunity to get involved in our research through summer research assistantships, project work and a compulsory final year research project.
