Potential career opportunities include wildlife officers, protected area managers, teaching, animal keepers, animal trainers, reserve wardens, wildlife rangers and environmental education to name but a few.

Our Access to HE Veterinary Science pathway is perfect for students who aspire to study for a veterinary-related degree and has been specifically designed as a stepping stone to qualifying as a Veterinary Surgeon or Veterinary Nurse. The course is a level 3 equivalent, which enables students to apply for a veterinary degree without the need for A Levels. Likewise, the Animal Science pathway can lead to a host of animal science and animal management degree courses including our own!

This event has been exclusively created to give potential students a taste of what to expect from our Access and Higher Education animal programmes at our Houghall campus, in Durham.

It's ideal for A Level students, Level 3 Animal Care (or Related Subjects) students or anyone looking to retrain who'd love to work with animals. You will need to already have a grade 4 or higher in GCSE maths and English.

And with support for funding and student loans available, as well as our stunning facilities and highly-experienced higher education team, there's no better place to study than right here at Houghall.
