Behavioural Biology is an interdisciplinary degree and field of science that examines the bidirectional interactions between behaviour and biology. An organism’s genetic, physiological and immunological processes drive behaviour, just as an individual's behaviour will impact its physiological and immunological state. Our Behavioural Biology degree differs from our Animal Behaviour degree as the focus is predominantly on Tinbergen’s questions on the mechanisms and functional significance of behaviour, and less on the evolutionary and development principles. Students are assessed by any combination of three assessment methods: coursework such as essays and reports completed throughout the course; practical assessments of the skills and competencies gained on the course; and written examinations at the end of each course. The exact mix of these methods differs between subject areas, years of study and individual courses. Honours projects are typically assessed on the basis of a written dissertation.  Graduates in Behavioural Biology can expect employment opportunities in industries such as pharmaceuticals and applied medicine/veterinary practice, government education and research programmes and Animal welfare. Interdisciplinarity is one of the key graduate attributes you will achieve with this degree. Regardless of the career(s) you will consider after your degree, this skill is highly sought by employers and rarely obtained at the undergraduate level. Not only do we train students in scientific methodology in the laboratory and in the field, we incorporate what we call 'graduate attributes' into the whole curriculum.
