On successful completion of the Cert HE, the student will progress directly into the second year of the FdSc programme.

Our small community learning environment allows staff to provide a bespoke experience for students to allow them to develop in the field of their choice.The programme offers a series of modules to develop skills in many areas of animal care, animal welfare and animal behaviour and training. Alongside our partnerships we visit a number of training facilities and animal collections nationally and internationally to allow students to evaluate best practice for the training and husbandry of animals in our care.Cornwall College University Centre offers a unique and fulfilling university experience with small class sizes, allowing for personal attention from tutors and a strong sense of community among students.
