Course summary
The Higher National Diploma (HND) in Applied Animal Science has been developed to provide education and training for a range of careers in Animal Welfare, Behaviour, Nursing, Wildlife Rehabilitation, Animal Husbandry, Conservation and Sciences. The programme is appropriate for the development of individuals who already have a role in these industries and is equally relevant to those who wish to study Animal Sciences at a higher level to develop themselves prior to employment in the industry. The programme is designed to provide the skills and abilities necessary to enable progression onto our BSc (Hons) degree in Animal Science. We have very close and excellent links with local and international employers including many conservation groups, veterinary industry, RSPCA, Science laboratories, Orangutan Veterinary Aid, Wildwood trust, Kruger National Park, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and Howlett’s Wild Animal Park. Our students have recently undertaken animal enrichment projects at the zoo’s to enhance the living conditions and enrichment for various species. We have full access to a working farm where our students can gain valuable practical experience with lambing and the general care of a range of animal species.
