Program details
Overview
This foundation degree is aimed at people who already work with animals or who wish to enter the animal sector. It examines what affects welfare across varied settings, combining hands-on experience with scientific understanding and skills that carry over to many jobs.
The syllabus spans animal health, husbandry, behaviour, feeding, ecology and conservation. Learning happens through lectures, small seminars and practical workshops, and an on-site animal unit allows direct work with a range of species. Placements are built in so that workplace experience forms an essential element.
Alumni have found employment as laboratory technicians and as educators at zoos. Study can be taken either full-time or part-time, making it workable for those managing jobs or other responsibilities.
Requirements
