Study aspects of behaviour in wild, domestic and captive animals. Understand the ‘how' and ‘why' of natural behaviour: how current and past environments and ecology influence behaviour, how behaviour is shaped by underlying gene-environment interactions, and why we see variation among individuals, species and species groups. Experience extensive fieldwork in the UK and international locations. The programme highlights the value of studying animals in their natural habitats.<br><br>The programme highlights the value of studying animals in their natural habitats, utilising the expertise of staff members who run long-term studies of iconic species in the wild. This approach is underpinned by field courses in the second and third years.<br><br>Throughout this programme you will be exposed to a wide range of theoretical and practical techniques used to study animal behaviour. We will provide you with the skills, concepts and experience to understand all aspects of animal behaviour. The programme 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.<br><br>UCAS code D391 Duration 3 years<br>UCAS code D394 Duration 4 years - with professional placement<br>UCAS code D392 Duration 4 years - with study abroad
