Human Animal Interaction is a vital field of research. Humans share this planet with other animals, and our interactions are at the core of our everyday lives. For many of us, animals are considered members of our family, both living with us and sharing in our lives. This MSc/MA programme introduces a broad range of topics and considers human animal interactions across contexts, from pet owning to animal assisted interventions, zoos, farms and conservation. It will cover interdisciplinary approaches and a diverse range of methods used to research our relationships with other species.
