Course Overview

Why study BSc Animal Science at Aberystwyth University? 

  • You will be taught and mentored by enthusiastic teaching staff that conduct research across the spectrum of animal species and behavioural responses.
  • All students will have access to fantastic laboratories & equipment, including radio-tracking equipment, nest boxes, laboratories & aquaria, plus a historic specimen collection. Amazing local habitats including coastlines, estuaries, woodlands, and hills, allowing access to species such as red kites, chough, grey seals, bottlenose dolphins and harbour porpoises. And if you still have more appetite for field work, you can take the residential field course in animal behaviour too.
  • Undertake an integrated year in industry that is assessed and will count towards your final degree classification. Note that students must organise their work experience under the guidance of our Director for Employability and that it must be relevant to Animal Behaviour. If students cannot secure a placement they are required to transfer to BSc Animal Behaviour C120.
  • Although work experience may not be paid. Students will pay a discounted fee during your year in industry.
