BSc (Hons) Animal Training and Performance

... United Kingdom
... Hartpury University

Course Overview

Develop the skills and expertise to transform your passion for training animals into a fulfilling career with this Animal Training and Performance degree.

You’re joining the rapidly growing animal sector at an exciting time. Almost 85 million households in the US have a pet – that’s increased from 56% to 68% over the past 30 years.* Your skills and expertise in animal training will be in high demand.

Emerging science and technology allow us to understand animal performance like never before. Training methods place priority on the physical and psychological needs of an animal to maximize wellbeing and performance.

You’ll learn from the latest advances in the field and use industry-standard technologies. Develop your expertise with access to our 70-species animal collection and benefit from our connections with animal trainers, scientists, and behaviorists across the UK.

All training is underpinned by the strictest ethics and supported by the latest scientific evidence. This degree doesn’t qualify you to become a behaviorist or trainer. It exposes you to the key scientific principles underpinning animal training, performance, and rehabilitation.
