Southampton Level 3 Certificate in Applied Animal Behaviour
The structure of the course is modular, comprising eight units, each of which consists of one week's intensive residential study followed by 8 weeks distance study. Applicants should have an HND, a Diploma in Higher Education or other approved qualifications e.g. Veterinary Nursing Parts 1 & 2.
Students have up to four years in which to complete the course, which leads to the award of an Undergraduate Level 3 Certificate. Each unit is assessed separately by course work, written or practical work.
The Certificate is multidisciplinary. It includes physiology, ethology, psychology, veterinary science, statistics and anthrozoology (the study of human-animal interactions).
The courses draw on lecturers from a variety of disciplines from both within and external to the University, thus reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the subject area.
