Program details

Overview

People with a love of animals may be drawn to this one-year full-time higher national certificate. Students work with companion and exotic species while studying how animals are kept and managed, their body structure and function, their health and welfare, and their behaviour. The award supports careers such as animal science, veterinary nursing, zoology, welfare work and behaviour consultancy. Applicants lacking formal qualifications, yet able to demonstrate relevant experience, may be admitted by having that prior experience and learning accredited. The course therefore stays accessible to people who gained their knowledge through employment rather than through the classroom. Practical work with live animals sits alongside classroom theory throughout the year. Learners should expect regular contact with different species.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: 64 UCAS points including a science subject at Level 3 (for example A Level Biology or Extended Diploma in Animal Management), plus GCSE Mathematics and English at grade C or equivalent. Applicants without formal qualifications may be admitted through APEL.
