BIOL2055 2027-28
Behaviour and Ecology Field Course
A week-long field course held in Bolonia on the Andalucian coast of Southern Spain, within the Estrecho natural park. The field course will take place during the Easter holidays, when there is a large diversity of flora and fauna to survey. As a residential field course, you will be able to immerse yourself in research, undertaking a research project of your own design, to test a novel ecological hypothesis. You will then collect, analyse and interpret your data, producing a written report and a conference-style presentation. Throughout the module you will keep a field notebook to record your project’s development, data collection and interpretation.
Teaching sessions will be accompanied by practical work which involves animal observation, with alternatives in place if required to meet minimum learning outcomes. -

HLTH6268 2026-27
Behaviour Change and Adherence
This module examines the essential role of behaviour change in Clinical Exercise Physiology, focusing on promoting and sustaining physical activity and exercise in individuals with various health conditions. You will explore the psychological, social, and biological factors influencing exercise behaviour, including the effects of chronic illness and socio-cultural context.
You will develop client-centred counselling skills underpinned by the principles of motivational interviewing and critically evaluate evidence-based models of behaviour changes.
Utilising University of Southampton academic expertise in simulation, you will develop person-centred communication skills, learning to co-produce personalised, sustainable intervention plans that foster long-term health improvements in clinical populations. This module aligns with CEP-UK standards, preparing students for effective, compassionate clinical practice. -
BIOL3072 2030-31
Behavioural Ecology
Behavioural ecology considers the evolutionary pressures that shape behaviour. This module will explore animal behaviours from evolutionary biology and population ecological perspectives. Each week, lectures will consider a different behavioural ecology topic, to be discussed in more detail in accompanying weekly seminars. Throughout the module, students will keep an individual notebook/log/journal, sharing their notes and reflections with other students during seminars as part of group discussions to expand their personal learning network. Each student will write a research proposal for a behavioural ecology research project of their own devising, requiring them to consider the relevant background information, appropriate methodology and to budget the costs of their proposed project. -

Behavioural Economics
This module gives an overview of the concepts, models, and findings in behavioural economics. Behavioural economics is a field of economics that imports relevant insights from neighbouring disciplines, like psychology and anthropology, to inform economic theory and policy. Many of these insights have been generated through lab and field experiments about the drivers of economic behaviour, and they have revealed systematic patterns of individual and group behaviour. These systematic patterns are relevant for economic behaviour in several domains (e.g. consumption, savings, risk behaviour), and this module studies them in depth. It also exposes students to modifications of economic theory that capture these patterns, and to various behavioural phenomena such as self-control problems and cognitive bias, both in theory and in practice. It equips students with the theoretical toolset to analyse and understand economic choices in the presence of behavioural biases, as well as the analytical tools to make normative and policy analysis in the presence of behavioural phenomena. The module also emphasises the consequences of departures from classical microeconomic theory for prediction of economic choices and market outcomes and policy implications. -
