This is a top up programme designed to produce students with a sound academic and practical knowledge of the disciplines and factors that relate to animal behaviour and welfare. The degree aims to build on the skills and knowledge that were developed during related level 5 qualifications, and to add additional skills and knowledge with respect to animal behaviour and welfare. The programme can be delivered either full time which takes one year or part time over two academic years.
Emphasis will be placed on the integration of applied knowledge and skills across a range of disciplines. The intention is to provide a flexible learning environment that will encourage students to achieve their full potential within a structured and vigorous framework.
The academic curriculum provided by the programme is supported throughout by the extensive practical facilities offered in the Animal Sciences Department. The Animal Management Unit houses a wide range of animals including invertebrates, amphibians, freshwater and marine fish, reptiles, birds, small mammals, and primates. In addition, the college runs a licensed boarding kennels and grooming parlour. A well-stocked livestock farm and large equine yard housing over 80 horses, both situated within the grounds of Bishop Burton College, also support the department. The Showground campus has a well-stocked animal unit including aquatics room, reptile room and three small animal handling rooms housing a range of species. The Bishop Burton site will also be used for the Showground campus students to ensure they have access to the working farm.
