This new degree programme focuses on preparing students for career opportunities in the ever popular fields of animal welfare and related behavioural sciences. The programme enhance students' knowledge and understanding of a range of issues, theories and practices associated with the industry, and enables students to apply these principles in the field of companion animals, farm animals and wild animals in captivity.
