Animal Welfare and Management is one of Moulton College’s most popular subject areas, and for students passionate about the well-being of animals, our Animal Welfare courses offer a platform to progress into the areas of conservation, animal management or animal care.
Our Animal Welfare courses introduce you to a range of animal care methods and science topics, from feeding and nutrition science, handling and behaviour to the practical and theoretical elements of animal health. With Animal Welfare courses available from Levels 1 - 3 up to degree level courses, you’ll have the opportunity to progress and expand your knowledge into wildlife conservation and national and international animal ethics.
