Overview
This comprehensive MSc programme equips you with a broad and versatile skillset essential for the study of animal behaviour. You’ll gain both conceptual knowledge and hands-on experience. Our dynamic course underscores the importance of understanding how animals adapt and respond to their environments, a crucial consideration in the Anthropocene era. This knowledge is increasingly relevant in fields such as cognitive psychology, One Health, biomedicine, human-animal interactions, welfare, ethics, and conservation. You’ll delve into the critical methods for quantifying animal behaviour across different species, employing both traditional techniques and cutting-edge remote sensing technologies. Additionally, you’ll learn to address contemporary challenges in animal behaviour and cognition, developing transferable skills for compiling, handling, and analysing large datasets.
