B.Sc. Applied Animal Management (Hons) Top-up

The BSc (Hons) in Applied Animal Management will develop your appreciation and evaluation of current issues and developments in animal management, especially in the areas of behaviour, health and welfare. Practical techniques involved in the study of the different component disciplines will continue to be developed at this level. You are expected to develop your research in a range of subjects within the areas of animal behaviour, health and welfare. The modules you take in the top-up year build on your previous knowledge by developing your investigative and analytical skills; especially within the dissertation module.

Your group may have diverse experiences of animal management; we aim to meet your individual needs, and prepare you to progress onto higher level academic qualifications or employment by encouraging independent study. We hope that you will take full advantage of all the supportive training opportunities that we provide.
