APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR MSC IN ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR Applications are now open for the September 2025 student cohort on the MSc programme in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter UK! The MSc programme is designed to provide students with a strong background in a broad cross-section of theory and research methods used in the study of animal behaviour, animal cognition and behavioural ecology. The programme gives students the opportunity to advance and expand their knowledge in the field of animal behaviour and gain expertise in the research and statistical methods generally used in Psychology, Biology and related sciences. Students learn how to formulate and test relevant research questions, as well as critically evaluate research published by others. The programme enables students to get an insight into the varied means of doing animal behaviour research in a wide array of locations: zoo, laboratory and in the wild. The teaching and learning methods are a mix of lectures, seminars, practicals and field courses. Overall there is a strong practical and demonstration element to the programme, using innovative teaching practices. The Department of Psychology at Exeter has a long tradition of interdisciplinary teaching and research in animal behaviour, and offers PhD degrees in animal behaviour in addition to this MSc. The full-time MSc is a 12-month course starting in September. The programme is also offered for part-time study over 2 years.
