Study with us
We are involved in research training and teaching across the university.
Research Master's (MRes)
We offer three Research Master's degrees (MRes) associated with Cognition, Behaviour and Evolution.
If you are an MRes student in our programmes you will conduct your own 24 week research project. You will gain in depth knowledge and research skills from leading researchers. You will also receive extensive hands on research experience.

We supervise research students in:
- Psychology
- Biology

- Animal behaviour

Funding your studies
We periodically offer funding opportunities for doctoral study, and occasionally for 1+3 programmes which include an MRes.
We are currently a member of the ESRC-funded NINE Doctoral Training Partnership, and previously hosted a Leverhulme-funded Doctoral Training Centre in Behavioural Informatics.
Depending on your chosen course of study, there may also be other funding options available – current opportunities will appear on our latest from CBE page. Your prospective supervisor may also know of other opportunities, so please don’t hesitate to ask. Please keep in mind that the application timeline and process will differ for different funding opportunities.
