BSc（荣誉）动物行为学

动物行为学是一门跨学科的学科，它研究行为与生物学之间的相互作用。生物的进化历史和当前环境条件驱动着行为，而行为决定的反馈又驱动着进化过程。我们的动物行为学士学位与动物学学士学位的不同之处在于，前两年包括了心理学课程，而行为生物学则与行为生物学不同，因为它的研究重点是整个生物，而神经科学则较少。
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 organism's 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.<br>Why Study Animal Behaviour.<br>Unique programme offering study in the fields of biology and psychology understand behaviour from all angles: evolution, development, mechanisms and adaptive significance.<br>Teaching from researchers in biology and psychology gives access to the cutting edge of both subject areas.<br>Academic and transferrable skills are built in to the learning experience to maximise employability.<br>Links with the Edinburgh Zoo provide an unrivalled opportunity to directly interact with a diverse range of animal species.<br>You will have the opportunity to get involved in our research through summer research assistantships, project work and a compulsory final year research project.
