ABOUT
Introduction:
This course teaches a combination of scientific knowledge and animal management skills. It is vocational in nature, with strong industry links utilised during work experience and career planning. It aims to develop graduates with strong scientific knowledge and technical skills that are sought by the animal industry. You’ll focus on key themes in animal management, including animal nutrition, animal reproduction, animal behaviour and animal health and disease. These key themes are strengthened through on-site lectures and practical field activities. Your experience is further enhanced by the use of visiting speakers and alumni. The FdSc involves a slightly different pace of learning compared to our BSc (Hons) courses, combined with a greater emphasis on applied aspects.
