BSc (Hons), CertHE Animal Management (Livestock Technology)

Our industry-focused course is centred on animal production and farm animal welfare. It’s ideal if you’re interested in a career in farm livestock production, including farm nutrition, farm animal health and welfare advisory roles, and precision livestock farming.

You’ll be taught by subject-specialist staff, and benefit from campus facilities including dedicated canine and equine centres, a small animal unit and a working farm. Throughout your course, there’s the chance to join ‘behind the scenes’ trips and other experiences.

We offer a number of animal management degrees at ARU in Writtle, with a common first year and the chance to specialise in years 2-3. With our Animal Management (Livestock Technology) course, your focus will be on genetics, biotechnology and animal growth alongside core topics of behaviour, nutrition and health.

Our Animal Management (Livestock Technology) degree gives you a comprehensive understanding of animal production and farm animal welfare. It will prepare you to work in farm livestock production and, as a graduate, you could consider a number of careers including:

• farm nutritionist
• farm animal health and welfare advisory roles
• precision livestock farming.

Graduation doesn't have to be the end of your time with us. You might decide to stay at ARU and study a Masters degree, such as our MSc Animal Welfare and Conservation or MSc Conservation Education and Engagement.
