Animal Biology and Animal Sciences at Lincoln

Students at Lincoln can study animal biology across a range of programmes, with opportunities to specialise in areas such as zoology, behaviour and welfare, evolution and ecology. Our degree programmes employ a multi-disciplinary, research-driven approach to the study of these topics, and our teaching is informed by academics who are considered to be at the forefront of their respective fields. Our goal is to help students develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand these topics and to provide hands-on experience of both laboratory based learning, as well practical work with animals from insects to domestic farm animals.

Develop Your Skills

Our full-time students can undertake an optional placement year between the second and third year of their course, providing the opportunity to gain workplace experience and a chance to hone your skills in a professional environment.

All of our biological and life sciences programmes are also available as a three-year BSc (Hons) or four-year integrated Master’s, which enable you to undertake an additional research-intensive year.

Animal Behaviour Clinic

Run by a team of highly qualified behaviourists, our Animal Behaviour Clinic is a referral-only clinic for pets with behaviour and training problems. Students can gain valuable experience through opportunities to support the Clinic's work.

Minster House

Part of Lincoln Science and Innovation Park, Minster House is equipped with specialist labs where our academics and students are conducting exciting research to improve our understanding of the behaviour and welfare of animals. Minster House is also the home of our Animal Behaviour, Cognition, and Welfare Research Group, a unique team of internationally-renowned researchers at the forefront of the animal behaviour field.
