Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare and Ethics with Placement Year

The BSc Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare and Ethics with Placement Year is a full-time four-year undergraduate degree. The course builds on the scientific excellence of our BSc Biological Sciences programme and is taught by staff from our outstanding Animal Welfare, Science and Ethics group.

In addition to the three-year BSc course, you will undertake a placement year, usually in your third year, to develop work place skills and industry expertise.

This programme has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology following an independent and rigorous assessment. Accredited degree programmes contain a solid academic foundation in biological knowledge and key skills, and prepare graduates to address the needs of employers.
