These skills are complemented by an academic program covering various topics essential for effective animal management. By combining practical and theoretical elements, we ensure that our graduates are capable of applying their scientific knowledge to improve the welfare of any animal. Throughout your course, there’s the chance to join ‘behind the scenes’ trips and other experiences. We offer a number of animal management degrees at ARU Writtle, with a common first year and the chance to specialise in years 2-3.
