Psychology of Human and Animal Behaviour

Accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), this engaging course provides a solid foundation in psychology by exploring the behaviours of both humans and animals.

With a focus on practical applications, you'll learn how understanding animal behaviour can benefit human health and wellbeing. The course also examines how insights into human behaviour can enhance our comprehension of animals, highlighting the interconnectedness between species.

As an applied programme, you’ll investigate how a deeper knowledge of animal behaviour can improve the health and wellbeing of both humans and animals. For instance, the Level 6 module on Animal Therapy explores the role of psychologists in treating animals with psychological or behavioural issues and how animals are used in animal-assisted therapy to address human psychological and physical health problems.
