Love interacting with animals? Fascinated by pets and their personalities?

Animal behaviour is psychology for the animal kingdom. It’s about understanding the science behind why animals act in certain ways, how we should work with them, and how we can look after their futures. It even informs our understanding of human behaviour.

Explore why cat’s meow, find out if parrots are smart, and play with the odd puppy or two as you build the skills to join this growing industry. You will:

  • study the behaviour of animals big and small, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, livestock, wildlife and insects
  • build practical skills through internship opportunities
  • join a close-knit, animal-loving community at our Roseworthy campus
  • learn about animal development and the biological drivers of behaviour
  • explore your personal animal interests through research projects and case studies
  • draw on the University’s internationally recognised expertise in animal science and veterinary bioscience.
There is also a strong practical element, with opportunities for industry experience, field work and study tours.

You could consult with exotic pets, prepare greyhounds for adoption or work in animal management for local government. You might ready dogs for roles guiding the visually impaired, detecting in customs, or even comforting children with autism and anxiety. Perhaps you’ll host your very own animal science show on TV.
