Take your animal behaviour understanding to the next level.

A masters degree in animal behaviour will give you the chance to develop on the skills and knowledge you already have, preparing you for a more advanced role working with animals. Sometimes a masters degree is a good way to transfer from one career to another as well.

Usually taking 1-2 years to complete, a masters degree in animal behaviour will cover a range of subjects. Modules might include animal diversity, evolution and genetics, wildlife disease, and GIS for Wildlife Mapping. Depending on your degree, you might also study specialist modules that focus on groups of animals, as opposed to a general perspective.

Admission Requirements

Admission to a masters degree in animal behaviour normally requires a bachelors degree in a related field, or relevant professional experience. Some universities might accept students who have previously studied in a different subject area. There may be other academic requirements, which your university can provide more information about.

You will also need to provide evidence of your language proficiency, unless you are exempt from these requirements. If your degree is taught in English, you can do this with TOEFL or IELTS test results, which are widely accepted.

Tuition Fees

International students have to pay tuition fees in most countries. You might be able to access financial assistance, such as a scholarship or grant. It is important that you do some research so that you understand how much studying abroad can cost and what financial support you might be eligible to receive.

Careers

Graduates of a masters degree in animal behaviour will have an advanced knowledge of the subject, and will be well positioned to take on a more challenging role. You might choose to work within the animal behaviour field, as an animal scientist, ecological consultant, or invasive species specialist, or you could pursue further studies, such as a PhD or research degree.
