Course Overview

You will be well placed to seek employment in various sectors that support animal science and welfare, including public services, zoos, wildlife parks, charities, conservation, and animal research. This degree will also provide a solid basis for postgraduate study.

The course incorporates three core discipline-based themes, which are developed at each level:

animal physiology, animal behaviour and biological science

ecology and conservation

animal welfare and management

At our partner institute, East Durham College (Houghall campus), you gain hands-on experience with native and exotic animals. Understand their physiology, health, behaviour, nutrition, farming, and management, and how scientific tools and research can benefit the health and welfare of many animal species.

Houghall Farm is set on a stunning 476-acre estate, minutes from Durham city centre. It is a fantastic place to work with animals, with a reptile house, aquatics area, small mammal house and an aviary. There is also a commercial dog grooming studio, a 22-bay dog kennel, and a dog agility and walking area. The site also has horse riding stables, an arena, and commercial pig and cattle facilities.
