Key Course Facts
Course Description
This exciting new online postgraduate degree has been designed to meet emerging animal welfare challenges linked to the UK legal system. You’ll apply theory to practice in real-world settings, enabling you to progress into a management role.
The animal welfare sector is diverse, covering everything from agriculture to pet shops and rescue centres to wildlife conservation - elements of legislative control are important to every area. As you progress into management positions, you’re likely to find yourself responsible for legal compliance, consultation or lobbying to produce new legislation.
A centre of excellence This course will provide you with the expertise you need to navigate the legal system and improve welfare standards in your chosen area. You’ll learn from expert lecturers, many of whom are also industry professionals, actively engaged in legislation and policy development.
Alongside working with external organisations, students and staff gain insights from and influence welfare standards in our campus businesses – we’re home to animal therapy enterprises, equine livery and events centres, a commercial farm and over 70 different species.
Flexible online delivery Online delivery makes this programme ideal, no matter where you live. Full and part-time pathways mean that you can study flexibly to fit around employment or other commitments. You'll have the opportunity to visit our campus in the spring to explore how theory applies to real-world practice in our animal settings.
