About this course
64 UCAS points or a Pass grade from a relevant Level 3 Extended Diploma. UCAS points are often made up from A Levels, preferably one in a science based subject. All applicants should have GCSE Grade C or above in English, maths and science and have spent two years studying at Level 3.
Applications from mature students, without the standard entry requirements, who are working in the animal industry, are warmly welcomed.
You'll develop a range of biological science and animal-related skills by studying specific areas concerning animal behaviour and welfare. This will equip you for a variety of careers within the animal management industry, or for further study (such as BSc Hons Applied Behavioural Science and Welfare).
Modules cover animal behaviour, welfare and husbandry, as well as breeding management and genetics. These make full use of the state-of-the-art facilities that are designed with animal welfare and species-specific behavioural needs in mind.
The course is offered by one of the university's partner colleges: Hadlow College in Kent.
