This course is suitable for anyone wishing to work with animals and will give students the knowledge and expertise to enter a wide range of professions in this area. This is a two year Level 5 programme with the opportunity to enter the BSc(Top Up) upon achievement.
Our on-site facilities include a working farm; animal welfare centre; animal therapy centre; equine yard; and veterinary practice, where you can gain hands-on commercial experience alongside your studies. We also have links with a wide range of animal organisations, such as Woburn Safari Park; Dodson and Horrell Feed Specialists; RSPCA; Woodgreen Animal Shelter; and Twycross Zoo.
How will I be assessed?
The course is assessed through a rage of assessments including written assignments, poster presentations, seminar presentations, portfolios, exams and project work. The course is mostly assessed through individual assessments, but elements of group work may be incorporated to bring in a real-world learning experience. The Foundation degree is unique in that it includes two modules with strong industry links; a work placement at an agreed placement and an industry linked project.
Our variety of assessment methods, providing students with an increased chance of success, have been commended by external examiners.
