Course summary

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.

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.
