About

Course at a glance

The BSc (Hons) Zoo Management Top Up degree programme has been designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to enter the vast zoological collections industry.

What you will learn

Areas relating to the husbandry of captive animals, economic factors affecting the sustainability of the industry and environmental change are incorporated. A review of the recent advances associated with collections management as well as the role of zoo visitors in terms of visitor experiences, conservation education and their importance to sustaining a business will be brought to the forefront of this degree. It also explores how species and habitats are conserved and the role collections play in modern day conservation principles.

Making use of the on campus facilities, University Centre Askham Bryan has access to its own licensed and BIAZA accredited wildlife park, â€کAskham Bryan Wildlife and Conservation Park'. With this resource on site, students have access to a fully working collection, accessing the resources can have the ability to get involved with the park during your study.

How to Apply

Full Time Degree Courses

If you want to apply for a full time BSc Degree, Foundation Degree or HND course, you need to submit your application via UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) on the UCAS website.

You can ask your teacher or careers adviser to help if you’re at school or college. If you’re not at school or college but are based in the UK, you can apply online independently. You will need to pay the correct fee and supply the name of the academic reference (who will be contacted directly by UCAS) and then submit your application. The UCAS website provides full instructions on the application process and also has a comprehensive guide called ‘Applying Online’.

For international applicants from outside the UK (within the EU and worldwide), you should also apply online independently unless your school or college is registered with UCAS. Again, you are responsible for paying the correct fees, obtaining and attaching the academic reference and submitting the completed application to UCAS. Further help and advice is available from British Council offices.
