This superb new course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of animal management and will equip you with the necessary knowledge to assess the welfare needs of animals, enable you to acquire practical animal management skills and devise welfare management strategies pertinent to the animal sector. The programme reflects the rural location of the College; along with its land-based specialism, the College is also a member of Landex which allows a more practical offer than courses at traditional Universities. The state of the art Animal Management Centre enhances the high-quality provision for Animal Management students, providing bespoke facilities for a wide variety of species. A graduate in Animal Husbandry & Welfare will be able to demonstrate academic research and project management skills, field and sector-specific skills and the ability to apply research and theory to practical situations. For this reason, the teaching strategy blends the conceptual and the vocational and includes lectures, tutorials, practical workshops, visits, guest speakers, peer teaching and peer review. An active approach to learning is encouraged and students will undertake research, discussion and activities within sessions. A Foundation Degree is a nationally recognised qualification in its own right and is equal to the first two years of the full BSc (Hons) course.
