NEW TAUGHT MSc PROGRAMME IN ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL, UK
This one-year, full-time Masters offers a unique opportunity for
students to strengthen their knowledge and confidence in the study of how
animals interact with both the physical and the social worlds they inhabit.
This programme provides rigorous scientific training in animal behaviour for
students aspiring to careers in animal biology, ecological and behavioural
research, science communication, and wildlife management and
conservation.
You will be taught by world-leading researchers, giving you the opportunity
to learn about the latest, cutting-edge developments in animal behaviour,
including behavioural ecology and evolution, optimisation and life history
theory, sensory biology, decision-making, neural/physiological mechanisms of
behaviour, social biology, and sexual selection. You will develop key
transferable skills in statistics, data handling and presentation, scientific
writing and communication, and research methods, and complete a substantial
independent research project.
We welcome applications from talented UK and overseas graduates in
Biological Sciences (or related disciplines) who are motivated to contribute to
the next major breakthroughs in science.
