You’ll receive expert research informed teaching and have the chance to get involved in research being undertaken in a variety of core topics specifically relevant to animal biology, physiology and ecology.
In addition to lectures, seminars and workshops, you’ll complete intensive practical weeks to accelerate your knowledge, and create a CV that will evidence your experience to employers.
