Course overview

The Professional Certificate consists of three 20 credit modules within the BSc (Hons) Animal Management, Ecology and Conservation programme offered at our Cannington Campus.
This certificate has been developed for learners who would like to study general animal management related theory and practical competencies that would be primarily for their own interest and education. The programme would also enable learners who have busy lifestyles or who are engaged in industry to undertake higher learning in a manageable format. In addition, the programme can prepare learners for further higher study and/or employment.
There are two 15-week semesters over the academic year. Each module is studied in a specific semester with a half day attendance. In addition, an academic development session is offered to help progress higher level learning skills. External research work and assessments are set to be completed outside of college.
Topics may include:
Management of Captive Animals
Animal Health Diagnostics
Enclosure and Enrichment Design.
