Specialist modules in animal behaviour and animal welfare themes are delivered at the Houghall Farm site of East Durham College. The Houghall Farm site, set on a stunning 476-acre estate, minutes from Durham City Centre, is a fantastic place to work with animals. A purpose-built small animal care centre has several specialist facilities including a snake house, lizard house, tortoise house, aquatics, small mammals house and an aviary. There is also a commercial dog grooming studio, 22-bay dog kennel unit and a dog agility and walking area. The site is also home to horse riding stables, an arena and commercial pig and cattle facilities. **After the course**: This course provides you with the skillset to support the animal care industry. The sector is worth £1bn to the UK economy and has 13,000 businesses and around 78,000 employees. Graduates can go on to work in boarding kennels, catteries, pet breeders, training, grooming, animal welfare charities, zoos, wildlife parks, public services and with performing animals in film and television.
