This course is for those who want an advanced qualification in animal management, which will enable you to manage the care of animals. The course aims to give you not just technical knowledge about the health, welfare and management of a range of animal species but also the confidence and transferable skills that will allow you to progress effectively into junior and middle management roles in the future. This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills and ultimately the qualification to allow you to progress straight into the industry, or into a final BSc top-up year at another University. Enjoy exploring and debating these issues and feel better prepared to meet the challenges of changing policies and practice. This course combines lectures, group work, practical sessions and independent research. You will be applying your theoretical knowledge to practice both in group work and the work setting. You are expected to undertake an industrial experience placement, one day per week to give you valuable experience, which can often lead directly to employment opportunities.
4 GCSEs grade 4 or above which must include English Language, maths and Double Science, or GCSE Biology, at grade 4 or above due to the scientific content of some of the units.
You will be assessed through theory work, presentations, creations of public information resources, written scientific reports and practical observations when managing the care of animals and supervising those carrying out various animal husbandry procedures. You are expected to perform to an industry standard and work independently. You will also be involved with the welfare of animals on the college animal care unit, to include those animals in our Blue Cross Re-homing Centre and Day Boarding Dog Kennels.
