Our BSc Animal Behaviour will encompass all aspects of animal behaviour in wild, domestic and captive animals. It will be delivered by internationally-recognised, research active staff in the Centre for Ecology and Conservation on the Cornwall Campus. The Centre hosts a large and thriving group of scientists who work at the cutting edge of research on animal behaviour and run field research projects across the globe, from Uganda to Australia.
The programme will utilize our expertise to provide you with the skills, concepts and experience to understand all aspects of animal behaviour. It covers the evolution and adaptive function of behaviour in the wild, its physiological and neuronal control, and how animals develop socially and cognitively through experience. The programme encourages an interdisciplinary approach and you will be exposed to a wide range of theoretical and practical techniques used to study animal behaviour.
