About Bsc (hons) Animal Behaviour And Welfare in University Centre Myerscough

The course provides students with an ideal opportunity to focus on the issues relating to animal welfare, health, physiology and behaviour.

Several of these modules are shared with the Foundation Degree course routes with separate tutorial sessions providing the opportunity for stronger academic and research focus. The themes of animal behaviour and welfare are further developed in the second year of the course. Students will also have the option to choose one module from animals in society, international wildlife conservation or professional practice.
The final year of the course includes the carrying out of a comprehensive industry related research project. The focus in the other modules is on applied research techniques, behavioural ecology and companion animal behaviour.
