Emagister recently added to its educational catalogue the BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare programme endorsed by University of Lincoln.

This degree employs a multi-disciplinary, research-driven approach to the study of animal behaviour and welfare. The course aims to help students develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand animal behaviour and welfare.

The range of specialist facilities available includes aquatic and reptile facilities, an insectary, and a bioacoustics laboratory.

There are two residential field trips in the UK, enabling students to study animals in the wild. These trips are part of two core modules. For UK based field trips the University will cover costs of transport, accommodation and meals at the field site.

There is also an overseas field trip available in your final year as part of the optional 'Overseas Field Course' module. This allows students to observe and study the behaviour of animals in their natural habitat. Further details can be found in the Features section.
