BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare Top-up
Develop your expertise in animal behaviour and welfare and turn your passion into your career. Study the fascinating biology behind the behaviour and consider ethical issues.
Top-up your existing qualification to a full BSc degree. Whether you want to become a welfare officer, trainer or researcher, you’ll be well-prepared for a range of careers in the animal sector.
You’ll be exposed to the latest research in the field of animal behaviour and welfare, and develop industry-standard practical skills to assess welfare, measure behaviour, train animals and manage domestic, exotic and wild species.
Choose from a range of optional modules, including animal trade and welfare, wildlife and zoo management, anthrozoology, animal psychology, biodiversity, conservation and pet behaviour counselling.
Benefit from a 360-hectare campus that’s home to a diverse range of animals. Our 70-species animal collection provides opportunities to assess domestic and non-domestic animals in different contexts.
As part of your top-up year, you’ll undertake an applied research project. Delve deeper into an area you’re passionate about and contribute to research that’s making a difference to the lives of animals.
