... United Kingdom
... Harper Adams University

Course Overview

This course prepares graduates for careers involving animal behaviour and also in animal welfare and management. Increased awareness of animal welfare and behaviour issues has opened up more employment opportunities in the animal sector.

Organisations that house animals are becoming more aware of the need for employees to understand animal welfare and behaviour.

Welfare organisations are expanding, and nutrition and pharmaceutical companies have careers suitable for graduates with sound welfare education. Many graduates move into higher education as lecturers or researchers and others choose further postgraduate study.
