The MSci Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter offers you a comprehensive exploration into the 'how' and 'why' of animal actions, examining how environments and genetics shape behaviour and why variations exist across species. This undergraduate degree is ideal for students passionate about understanding behaviour in wild, domestic, and captive animals, providing a robust foundation in ecology, evolution, and genetics. You will delve into key areas such as behavioural ecology, animal cognition, and conservation science, preparing you for advanced study and research in this dynamic field.
This full-time, four-year on-campus programme immerses you in extensive fieldwork, both within the UK and internationally, allowing you to study animals in their natural habitats. You will develop critical skills in data analysis, research design, and scientific communication, culminating in a substantial research project in your final year. You will graduate with the expertise and practical experience needed to pursue diverse career paths in wildlife conservation, animal welfare, research, and related scientific industries.
