Introduction

This course will provide you with a solid in-depth introduction to animal welfare and management, to meet employer demands in such a competitive industry.

You will learn through lectures, seminars, practical demonstrations, independent research, visits, field work and through work-related experiences on the Program.

An in-depth, independent research project will form 25% of your final year of study in which you will need to investigate, analyse and report on a set theme relating to animal behaviour and welfare.

You will have the opportunity to be involved in trips to zoos, wildlife parks, animal shelters, natural history museums and an opportunity to visit South Africa (subject to additional costs).

The optional trip to South Africa in the second year* will give students the opportunity to visit and take part in field studies monitoring populations of animals in reserves such as lions, wild dogs, buffalo and rhino.

Throughout the course you will meet industry specialists including Reptile Specialists, Aviculturists, Zoo Keepers, Boarding Establishment Owners, Ecologists and Vets.

At the Stamford campus, you will have access to a range of species housed in the on-site Animal Studies Unit and develop necessary skills in animal management and husbandry. The Animal Studies Unit includes a range of small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, as well as a bespoke nocturnal room and a large outside area housing rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, birds, marmosets and meerkats.

The courses at University Centre Peterborough are studied in smaller class sizes compared with other universities, a typical class size is under 30 students.
