  2. Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour

    Within the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour we are involved in research which looks at perception, attention, emotion, learning and memory, sensory and motor processes, and includes animal models of neurobehavioral research. We investigate cognitive and brain mechanisms in psychologically and neurologically intact animals and humans, and the disruption of these processes caused by drugs, brain damage, ageing or atypical development.

  4. Courses – School of Biological and Environmental Sciences

    Known for its outstanding teaching, the School of Biological and Environmental Sciences has a range of undergraduate, postgraduate and foundation courses. Find out about our degree programmes in anthropology, biology, geography, wildlife conservation, animal behaviour, zoology and more.

  5. Resources

    Some of the members within the Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology present their research findings on television programmes, including National Geographic, and at various conferences. Watch videos about human evolution, conservation strategies, animal behaviour and forensic practices.

  6. Research in the School of Biological and Environmental Sciences

    The School of Biological and Environmental Sciences conduct interdisciplinary and collaborative research with a number of large organisations across the globe within the areas of genetics, neurobiology, anthropology, medical entomology, ecology, evolution, and the environment.

  7. Teaching and learning

    The Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology offer a range of learning opportunities in natural sciences including animal behaviour, biology, conservation, bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology and primate behaviour. Find out about our current MPhil projects and PhD opportunities.

  8. Search, Scene and Discovery Network

    The Search, Scene and Discovery Network specialises in processes involved in the search for and discovery of human and/or animal remains/traces using technology including drones, robots and sensors.

  9. Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour facilities

    The Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour has dedicated facilities including: EEG, psychophysiology, appetite research and neuroscience microneurography laboratories plus experimental testing booths and a sleep-over rest room. We also share a number of facilities with other science departments within the University.
