Course area introduction
If you would like a career working with and caring for animals, then these courses could be just what you’re looking for.
You will benefit from our specially designed animal science facilities, which are well-equipped for learning essential skills such as grooming, handling and caring for small animals.
You’ll find that our lecturers share your passion for animals and have many years of experience of working with them.
Over the years they have built up partnerships with many charities and organisations, like Stonebridge City Farm and Woodside Stables, so there will be plenty of opportunities for you to get out of the classroom on visits.
