The Foundation Degree in Animal Science is validated by the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Carmarthen. It is delivered at the college's Pibwrlwyd Campus where a range of animal facilities are based. Students are required to undertake compulsory internship within an animal/environmental or equine related business. The course programme provides the knowledge, understanding and critical analytical skills to inform current and future professionals and draws on a wide range of intellectual resources, theoretical perspectives and academic disciplines to facilitate understanding of animal sciences across a diverse range of species and fields of study. In addition to these core elements, the programme encourages student research and discussion in relation to current issues of animal management, ethics, legislation and environmental change.
