Animal Behaviour BSc (Hons) - Clearing

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.This is a unique programme offering study in the fields of biology and psychology – understand behaviour from all angles: evolution, development, mechanisms and adaptive significance. Links with the Edinburgh Zoo provide an unrivalled opportunity to directly interact with a diverse range of animal species.
