Animal Behaviour and Welfare Foundation Degree - FD

Animals need people to be their voice. To do that, we need to understand more about what they think and feel. The Foundation Degree Animal Behaviour and Welfare was established to equip more individuals with the essential skills required to provide animals with the best possible lives. The animal, environmental and sustainability sectors are growing nationally and globally, and more people are needed to work in roles to support this important work. pathways.

This course is taught at Merrist Wood College and University Centre, a 400-acre estate with ancient woodland, wetlands, livestock, threatened species, a farm, an equine centre, and our Animal Management Centre, which has an animal activities licence to support students’ training. This is your live classroom for real-world learning, and we seize every opportunity to help you apply your knowledge in practice. Our lecturers have also worked and volunteered extensively in the animal industry, bringing valuable knowledge that will enhance your learning experience. With guest lectures, work placement opportunities, and the possibility of travelling internationally, this course will set you up for the future.
