After doing 12th puc arts, what should be my next step in becoming an animal behaviourist. Can I do a psychology degree for my bachelors and then in post grad do a degree in animal psychology?
Dear Aspirant ,
Yes , in my opinion you should opt for a psychology specialisation/honours degree in your undergraduation.
You should take up online courses in animal behaviourism and animal psychology during your college years itself as side courses to increase ypur knowledge and boost your CV. There are many excellent certificate courses on coursera . Example- there are courses concerning pet pstchologt(cats /dogs) and courses cpncerning behaviours of wild animals , as well as overall animal behaviours.
You can go for bachelors in animal psychology itself if you want to pursue your UG abroad since in India there are no specific animal behaviour or animal psychology courses.
After your bachelors you can then go for Animal Psychology Masters and even PHD in animal behaviour .
Some best universities for a UG ,PG and PHD courses in this subject are-
1. University of Adelaide
2. University of Lincoln
3. Anglia Ruskin University
4. Arizona State University.
5. Florida Institute of Technology.
Hope this helped !
