Be part of the longest established animal behaviour course in the UK, accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. Get hands-on by using cutting-edge technologies and techniques to study animal behaviour, and how it's used in solving conservation and welfare problems. Engage in our innovative Live Briefs, designed, developed, and run with zoos, farms, and wildlife charities, giving you exposure to real world challenges, including the option to study animal behaviour locally and abroad.

Complete projects and internships with our research-active expert staff from the School of Life Sciences, and access work placements with a range of employers.<br><br>We know more than ever before about the behaviour of animals. But with so much still left to learn, you could even have the chance to discover a scientific breakthrough as you develop the skills to investigate animals that will allow you to contribute to important discoveries in the future. As a student at ARU, youll learn from staff who are involved in field and captive studies internationally and in the UK, and have research links with a range of organisations including some of Britain's most respected zoos. Our students have undertaken final year projects, placements and summer internships with a range of organisations including (but certainly not limited to) Natural England, Shepreth Wildlife Park, Woburn Safari Park, Wildwood Trust and the Cambridge Museum of Zoology.
