Overview

In this Animal Behaviour and Welfare (Clinical) (with placement) (Hons) of Harper Adams University, you will examine animal biology as it relates to the behaviour and welfare of animals.

This includes developing an understanding of the complexity of the relationship between animal behaviour and animal welfare, in addition to providing you with an opportunity to learn about the range of research methods that can be applied in the scientific study of animal behaviour.

You will learn about scientific applications of animal behaviour, including how an understanding of animal behaviour can help us to improve their welfare and facilitate safe, positive, human-animal interactions. The course will also introduce business management of relevance to working within animal-related industries.
