A bachelors degree in animal behaviour is an opportunity to take your passion for animals and blend it with an understanding of the science behind their behaviour. Usually taking 3-4 years to complete when studied full-time, an animal behaviour degree will cover a range of core modules, as well as other specialised subjects. These could include animal physiology, ecology, primatology, and animal communication. Admission requirements are normally a high school diploma or equivalent, and evidence of your language proficiency.
Tuition fees for international students will vary depending on where you are from and where you choose to study. You might be eligible for financial assistance, like a scholarship or grant, which can help with the cost of studying abroad. Animal behaviour graduates can choose to either look for a job or pursue further studies.
