This course deepens the academic and scientific knowledge of students progressing from Foundation Degree level. It will support students to develop the skills and knowledge required to work at senior level in the land-based industry, including in zoological roles. The course focuses on contemporary practices and challenges of land-based and animal management roles, including climate change, animal welfare and wildlife crime. It enables students to develop their knowledge base in conservation and research, whilst at the same time putting theory into practice at Nescot’s substantial animal care facilities. This will give students the opportunity to develop high standards of education within a vocational setting that is not commonly available at Higher Education Institutions.
