Animal psychology is an interdisciplinary field that brings together the fields of psychology, biology and ethology, amongst others, to understand the cognitive processes and behaviour of various animals.
Animal psychologists play an important role in many animal-human interactions, ranging from guide dogs to conservation, animal safety and zookeeping. Postgraduate students can pursue taught courses in animal behaviour or psychology, with options to focus on areas like conservation or clinical study. Various research options are also available.
There are more than ten postgraduate programmes in animal psychology in the UK, but other programmes such as conservation may contain significant elements in their curriculum as well.
Entry requirements for a postgraduate course in animal psychology will vary but you are likely to need a relevant bachelor’s degree and/or significant related work experience.
A postgraduate course will give you a comprehensive understanding of animal behaviour, cognition and welfare. You’ll also develop research skills including observational skills, experimental design and statistical analysis.
You might use your qualification to advance your existing career or use it to become an animal behaviourist, an animal welfare officer, a conservation biologist, animal trainer or an animal welfare researcher for example.
