Course Overview

Offered by University of Aberdeen, the BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour provides a comprehensive undergraduate education in biological sciences. Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 4-year full-time structure. Combine Biology and Psychology to measure and understand the behaviour of wild animals, the behaviour and welfare of companion, domestic, and captive exotic animals, and explore links between behaviour and applications such as conservation. 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. International tuition fees are £24,800 per year, home/UK fees are £1,820 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 93% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £22,500 within three years, a 100% continuation rate, and 75% of graduates in employment or further study.
