On our Animal Science degree course, you will be encouraged to develop your individual interests further through project-based research. This course focuses on animals in domestic, farm and zoo-based settings, as opposed to our BSc (Hons) Zoology degree programme which focuses on wild animal species, their behaviour and ecology.
Throughout your degree you will have access to our onsite Animal Management Centre which houses over 86 species, in addition to livestock on our farm, and horses at our Equestrian Centre based at our Easton College campus. These opportunities help to enhance your academic knowledge and where appropriate help to build practical experience and employability, for example, through carrying out animal welfare assessments.
If you have any specific questions about this course, please contact Megan Page - Course Leader BSc (Hons) Animal Science, email: megan.page@ccn.ac.uk.
