Animal science and welfare is a comprehensive course aimed at post A-level students, mature learners with some background in science, those working in animal welfare organisations, animal welfare officers and anyone wanting to demonstrate their ability to study successfully at the first level in higher education. The course is set at the equivalent of level 4 study.
The aim of the course is to provide learners with knowledge and understanding of the biology of the non-human animal and to be able to apply that to their care and welfare.
You will study comparative anatomy and physiology including digestive, skeletal, circulatory and respiratory systems, endocrine and nervous systems and be introduced to animal nutrition and non-human animal behaviour.
Progression: Animal science and welfare is one of our courses which can be used as evidence for higher education applications according to the standards set by a college of Further and Higher Education.
Mammals, birds and reptiles are the focus of the course with structure related to function and lifestyle.
