Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare and Ethics

About this course

Animal biology, behaviour, welfare, and ethics is a discipline that takes the lives of non-human animals seriously as a subject of scientific inquiry and moral concern. Understanding how animals are built, how they function physiologically, what drives their behaviour, what they experience, and what obligations humans have toward them requires engagement with biology, psychology, philosophy, and policy. As awareness of animal sentience grows and regulatory frameworks evolve, practitioners with expertise in this area are increasingly sought across research, veterinary services, agriculture, and conservation. At the Royal Veterinary College, one of the world's leading veterinary and biomedical science institutions, this three-year full-time programme builds on RVC's international reputation in animal welfare science. You will study comparative anatomy and physiology, evolutionary biology,
