Writtle University College provides a stimulating environment for you to pursue your studies in animal welfare and conservation. Our highly qualified, research active staff will support you through the approach of putting science into practice, utilising sector relevant links that couple animal welfare issues with nutrition, genetics, behaviour and conservation. We have strong sector links with Colchester Zoo, Essex Wildlife Trust, the Zoological Society of London (including both London and Whipsnade Zoos), and the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare.
You may have the opportunity to develop and extend your knowledge and understanding of a diverse range of animal species through access to livestock, exotics and companion animals on site, whilst our strong relationship with a number zoos may afford opportunities to undertake dissertation research projects within those establishments.
On attaining your MSc in Animal Welfare & Conservation you will be a highly skilled and employable postgraduate, who will be ready to excel in your future career in areas such as animal welfare, nutrition, zoo keeping, conservation and research.
