Applied Animal Management

This foundation degree examines the roles animals play in society and how their habitats, populations, health and welfare can be protected and improved. Study draws on the work of animal therapists, trainers and carers, and puts weight on practice that rests on evidence. Practical husbandry, handling and restraint skills sit at the centre of the course. Students work with wildlife, farm, exotic and domestic animals in industry settings, which lets them see how different sectors operate, use specialist equipment and build contacts for volunteering and later work. Those placements and contacts support career choices across the animal industry. The course is delivered full time and applications are made through UCAS. The page notes that applications for the current September are closed and that applicants should contact the college about the following year.
