Their world-leading research on behaviour and cognition in primates, dogs and elephants are being applied to real world problems, including conservation, human-animal interaction and animal welfare.

Under the research group's expert guidance, youÕll complete specialist modules, a research placement and a research project.Ê You can also take advantage of our on-site and overseas labs, field sites and links with industrial partners. For example, the University works closely with the Living Links to Human Evolution Research Centre at Edinburgh Zoo.

An academic supervisor in psychology will support and guide your development, including the research dissertation project. WeÕre here to encourage you to make the transition to become a fully independent research scientist.
