BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare (Non-clinical)

Do you long to find out why animals behave the way they do and what this can tell us about their welfare? Do you care passionately about the welfare of animals but realise that applying scientific principles is likely to achieve better results than responding in a purely emotional way? Then this course is for you.

This degree enables those interested in the behaviour and welfare of companion and farm animals to study at degree level without covering the broader animal health sciences in detail. You will examine animal biology as it relates to the behaviour and welfare of animals, and have the opportunity to study ecology in relation to animal habitats.

All main groups of farm animals are represented on our farm and the Companion Animal House has a range of exotic and companion animals.

Students carry out an animal-based investigational project in their final year, looking at an aspect of animal behaviour or welfare.

Job Opportunity Potential

From day one at Harper Adams, you'll discover new ideas and develop them through a mix of academic study and practical projects.

During the placement year, that is included in all of our degree courses, you'll put your ideas to the test. You'll develop the real world experience that employers want, as well as a deep working knowledge of your subject.

During your year in industry you'll be meeting challenges, learning new things, meeting people, making decisions, managing money and even staff, planning ahead, using your initiative, and taking responsibility.

We see the difference in students when they get back from placement - they're more confident, focused, ready to take the world on! They know better which path they want to take, and what they need to do in their final year of studies to get there.
