Admission to the programme requires a Bachelor's degree in Biology or equivalent. English 6 or English level 2.
The programme offers you an overview of the field of animal behaviour as well as deep insight into current research advances. You will gain skills and experience in methods and analytical techniques, opening up a wide variety of career possibilities. Our Master’s Programme in Animal Behaviour will provide you with a deep understanding of why animals behave the way they do. You will gain a solid theoretical foundation combined with advanced methodological skills, preparing you to analyse complex behavioural phenomena across species. You will study how animals sense the world and how they communicate, the social structure of their communities, how they form pairs and reproduce, how they acquire and use information and solve problems, and how competition and co-operation arise. In addition, you will learn how behaviour develops during the life of the individual and the influence of learning and experience on behavioural development. Finally, you will gain experience in synthesizing, discussing, and debating key controversies in the study of animal behaviour. Knowledge of animal behaviour is important in many fields of biology, including ecology, evolutionary biology, neurobiology and conservation biology. Animal behaviour also has applications beyond the scientific sphere. For insta
