UCAS code: 2JW4
Here's what University of South Wales says about its Animal Health & Welfare course.
This course will give you the practical skills, specialist knowledge and work experience to help you start or develop your career in the Animal Management industry. Whether you are already working in the industry and want to take the next step in your career, or you are just beginning your professional life, this course gives you a unique blend of academic study, work based learning and skill development that will help you get ahead.
You will study many aspects of animal care and welfare, from anatomy, physiology and animal behaviour, to veterinary medicine and animal nutrition. All of your knowledge will be put into practice in the work placement module, where you'll produce a portfolio of professional work to demonstrate the experience you've gained.
The course is very practical, so you get lots of first-hand experience to compliment and reinforce your classroom lectures. Experts from the field of animal care deliver guest lectures, and you'll take part in educational visits, discussion forums and group work.

Uni's advice team is very hostile against students they regard you as their enemy and Uni's accommodation team is careless about the problems within the halls including dirty blocks and issues among students inside the blocks

Library did a lot to me this academic year for both borrowing books or using it as place to study in. there one thing I am not happy with is the food being served in canteen, too small portion and too expensive. All other facilities are good.
