Animal Behaviour and Welfare (BSc top-up)

About

Overview

The one-year BSc (top-up) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare course is aimed at people who wish to
upgrade a Level 5 qualification in animal-related studies, such as the FdSc in Animal Behaviour and
Welfare, to a BSc (Hons) qualification. This course allows you to develop and expand on your
scientific knowledge of animal behaviour and welfare, alongside practical application of this
knowledge within animal-related industries. Within this course there are opportunities to develop
your academic skills, through critical analysis and evaluation of contemporary research.

Graduates may progress into graduate roles within animal-related industries or may continue their
studies by progressing onto Level 7 studies, such as Masters degree courses. Previous graduates
have progressed into careers in behaviour and training, some have entered into work in zoos, animal
rescue centres and veterinary practices.

This course is taught at Solihull College. Therefore you may need to consider travel costs depending on your proximity to the campus.

Animal Behaviour and Welfare BSc top-up degree course from the School of Biological and Medical Science at Oxford Brookes University.

Entry Requirements

Specific entry requirements

Students will usually have achieved a merit in the Fd(Sc) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare or an equivalent relevant animal related level 5 qualification of 240 CAT points, subject to individual credit rating by Oxford Brookes University.

Students who have studied the HND in Animal Management or equivalent HND will need an overall merit profile.

Students who have not studied the Oxford Brookes University Fd(Sc) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare will need to produce a transcript of the modules and learning outcomes they have studied on their level 5 course to allow credit rating by Oxford Brookes University and evidence coverage of sufficient comparable content to allow entrance to this BSc year.

There are limited places on the course and the above requirements are minimum requirements. Offers of a course place are dependant on a successful interview and a strong UCAS application with an appropriate reference.
