About the course

Our MSc Animal Behaviour, based in the Psychology department, provides a strong background in a broad cross-section of research methods used by researchers studying human and animal behaviour and a multidisciplinary study environment.

The course offers a strong training in statistical methods and research methodologies.

Learn how to formulate and test relevant research questions and critically evaluate the research carried out by others in the field.

Gain the necessary skills to pursue a PhD, work as a researcher or pursue a career working in zoos, research centres, nature reserves, wildlife and other animal-related offices, education, scientific media and journalism, or the expanding field of eco-tourism.
