Through the Department for Continuing Education at the University of Oxford, I am offering a 10 week course on animal behaviour in Oxford running from January to March 2012.

The course is meant as an introduction to animal behaviour for all interested members of the general public. No prior knowledge is required.

The course covers a wide range of behaviours, while at the same time giving a comprehensive introduction to evolutionary thinking. During the course, examples from a broad range of animal groups ranging from social behaviours in ants, to tool use in crows and chimpanzees, through to animal personalities and attention in dogs and other pets will be introduced. We will examine how these behaviours are shaped by evolution and linked throughout the various animal groups.

The course starts on the 17th of January 2012 and cost £150
