The BSc (Hons) in Applied Animal Management (final-year top-up) is taught at Bridgwater College. It gives you an understanding of the essential theoretical and practical aspects of the behaviour, health and welfare of a diverse range of animals within different environments. You will have opportunities to study complex models, ethics and legislation within a practical context and from industry perspectives.

The skills and knowledge gained on this programme are directly relevant to a number of careers in animal management. Many of our graduates will find employment with animal welfare establishments, zoological collections, wildlife organisations, conservation management or animal production facilities. Previous students have gained employment in the areas of the animal industries outlined, and some have progressed to self-employment or been employed as research technicians. An Applied Animal Management degree also offers an excellent general university education and can provide a gateway to careers in management, journalism and the media and leisure industry.
