**From the phenomenon of evolution to our curiosity regarding animal behaviour, we have always found ourselves enthralled by the wonders of the animal kingdom. Animal Biology explores this fascinating realm, from the functioning of a single cell right up to the processes that control reproduction and survival in complex organisms.** At Worcester, Animal Biology has a strong practical emphasis, reflecting the discipline’s increasing importance to our understanding of some of the major challenges facing society today, from the environment and global agriculture to international economic dynamics. This applied approach also gives you the opportunity to develop a range of skills and expertise invaluable in future employment. - Expand your studies with a fascinating Joint Honours degree pathway –study Animal Biology alongside Ecology or Physical Geography - Shape a degree to suit you - build a firm foundation in core principles, whilst selecting from a diverse array of options including human origins, genomics and invertebrate biology - Take Animal Biology somewhere it has never been before with your independent study. Past studies have looked at DNA extractions from faeces of the Western Lowland Gorilla, the effect of raptors on roosting behaviour of waders, and the distribution and abundance of snakes in degraded forests in Madagascar
