YEAR 1 (Level 7)

MODULES
- Human-Animal Interconnection (30 credits)- Human and animal lives are inextricably linked in today’s society. A multi-faceted approach to understanding the mutual benefits of human-animal relationships is necessary for a sustainable future. Human psychological attitudes regarding the value of species and likely impacts on survival must also be considered. Critical evaluation of a diverse range of human-animal interactions globally will be studied in this module, along with time spent in a setting of choice.
- Practical Animal Welfare and Ethics (30 credits) The global diversity in the use of animals raises many welfare-related questions. Regulations regarding the use of animals and their welfare are different between countries, and global threats to animal welfare vary. The sustainable use of animals involves the assessment of health and welfare together with on-going education. This module focuses on the practical application of theoretical issues.
- Research and Study Skills (30 credits) This module will introduce students to critical evaluation of research methods through the development of the understanding of the philosophical, practical and ethical concepts of research and research methods.
- Holistic Animal Rehabilitation (30 credits) Where standards of animal welfare are not sustained, rescue and rehabilitation becomes imperative. Here we examine the scale of the welfare crisis for domestic and wild animals. We scrutinise the role of welfare agencies and introduce practical rehabilitation techniques, often affording animals a second chance at life.
- Dissertation (60 credits) Over the summer, students will have the opportunity to complete a unique piece of research on a topic of their own choice.
