This module is for any third-year student who seeks a deeper understanding of what it means to be a human by learning about the behaviour of our cousins, non-human animals. We cover a broad range of topics -- anything from parental, sexual and social behaviour to cognition and communication -- and discuss these form varying perspectives.Â
This is a relatively small module, so you will have lots of opportunities to be an active learner, to interact with me and your peers, ask questions and discuss issues. The module includes a field trip to Twycross Zoo where you will conduct data collection for a mini project that forms one of the assessments.
There are no pre-requisites and students from all disciplines are welcome!
