The scientific exploration of animal behavior and welfare enhances our comprehension of why animals act as they do, while also guiding effective responses to the difficulties animals encounter in both captive and natural settings. This program takes a multidisciplinary, research-focused approach to examining animal behavior and welfare. Designed to equip students with essential knowledge and abilities, the course covers diverse species including insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Instruction is provided by distinguished academics renowned in welfare evaluation, animal management, evolutionary biology, and animal cognition. Notable faculty include Professor Daniel Mills (clinical animal behavior), Professor Anna Wilkinson (animal cognition), and Professor Oliver Burman (animal welfare assessment). The curriculum features two UK-based residential field trips, allowing students to observe animals in their native environments while honing practical and academic skills. The University covers travel, lodging, and meal expenses for these UK trips. Alumni have pursued careers in animal management, welfare, training, and conservation, as well as research positions. Many graduates opt to further their education through Lincoln's postgraduate programs, such as the MSc in Clinical Animal Behavior.
