The FdSc Animal Behaviour, Welfare and Conservation develops knowledge and practical skills for further study and employment in key aspects of the animal industry. Core subjects allow graduates from the programme to demonstrate understanding and application in fundamental elements of animal welfare and husbandry. Option units allow students to progress along career pathways focussing on animal behaviour or animal conservation. Students can elect to take options that cover both of these aspects, or choose module combinations that are designed to develop particular knowledge and skills in these two fields in the animal industry. The course provides opportunties to work with employers, and to develop industry-related skills through authentic style assessment.
The foundation degree is the fundmental course for progression to Top Up programmes at Level 6 to gain BSc (hons) degrees.
